Index is an important element in databases, and the existence of index is unavoidable. When an index has been built on a particular attribute, database operations (e.g. selection,...
The general stochastic optimal control (SOC) problem in robotics scenarios is often too complex to be solved exactly and in near real time. A classical approximate solution is to ...
We extend the differential approach to inference in Bayesian networks (BNs) (Darwiche, 2000) to handle specific problems that arise in the context of dynamic Bayesian networks (D...
We model the overlay using linear capacity constraints, which accurately and succinctly capture overlay link correlations. We show that finding a maximum-bandwidth multicast tree...
We present a class of models that, via a simple construction,
enables exact, incremental, non-parametric, polynomial-time,
Bayesian inference of conditional measures. The approac...
