Many settings of unsupervised learning can be viewed as quantization problems — the minimization of the expected quantization error subject to some restrictions. This allows the ...

When integrating dierent system components, the interaction between dierent features is often error prone. Typically errors occur on interruption, concurrency or disabling/ enabli...
Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks. A major problem in programming parallel applications for such platforms is their hierarchi...
In this paper we consider the problem of exploring an unknown environment by a team of robots. As in single-robot exploration the goal is to minimize the overall exploration time....

We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
