H.264 is a new video coding standard which contains some novel coding functions and provides more coding efficiency than previous standards. However, video streams are sensitive t...
We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...
It is well known that many hard tasks considered in machine learning and data mining can be solved in an rather simple and robust way with an instance- and distance-based approach....
We introduce a new approach to approximating weighted Max-SAT problems that is based on simplifying a given instance, and then tightening the approximation. First, we relax its str...
Multibody factorization algorithms [2, 1, 16] give an elegant and simple solution to the problem of structure from motion even for scenes containing multiple independent motions. ...
