: Ahlswede and Winter [IEEE Trans. Inf. Th. 2002] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound ...
There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...
The original mechanism by which evolutionary algorithms were to solve problems was to allow for the gradual discovery of sub-solutions to sub-problems, and the automated combinati...
Traditional feature selection methods assume that the data are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). In real world, tremendous amounts of data are distributed in a net...
Query processing techniques for XML data have focused mainly on tree-pattern queries (TPQs). However, the need for querying XML data sources whose structure is very complex or not...
