Abstract. We develop a probabilistic interpretation of non-linear component extraction in neural networks that activate their hidden units according to a softmaxlike mechanism. On ...
All-optical packet switching is a promising candidate for future high-speed switching. However, due to the absence of optical Random Access Memory, the traditional Virtual Output ...
We study an NP-hard (and MaxSNP-hard) problem in trees--Multicommodity Demand Flow--dealing with demand flows between pairs of nodes and trying to maximize the value of the routed...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
This paper is an enquiry into the interaction between multiple description coding (MDC) and network routing. We are mainly concerned with rate-distortion optimized network flow of...
