— There has been much recent interest in protocol design for wireless networks based on maximizing a network utility function. A significant advance in recent years is the obser...
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
The paper describes a new approach using a Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to extract physical and logical layouts in unconstrained handwritten letters such as those sent by indi...
We present an algorithm for computing the probability density function of the product of two independent random variables, along with an implementation of the algorithm in a compu...
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of first passage time probabilities for a multidimensional random walk with t distributed increments, via simulation. In addition...
