Content storage in a distributed collaborative environment uses redundancy for better resilience and thus provides good availability and durability. In a peer-to-peer environment,...
Random projection (RP) is a common technique for dimensionality reduction under L2 norm for which many significant space embedding results have been demonstrated. However, many si...
We introduce a new model for semantic annotation and retrieval from image databases. The new model is based on a probabilistic formulation that poses annotation and retrieval as c...
Plans fail for many reasons. During planner development, failure can often be traced to actions of the planner itself. Failure recovery analysis is a procedure for analyzing execu...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
