Background: Computational comparison of two protein structures is the starting point of many methods that build on existing knowledge, such as structure modeling (including modeli...
This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
The Internet network provides access to several hundreds of million sites and expands at a rate of a million pages a day. Yet, given the rapid and anarchical nature of its evoluti...
There is much experimental evidence that network traffic processes exhibit ubiquitous properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, i.e., of correlations over a wide ran...
Despite popular belief, boosting algorithms and related coordinate descent methods are prone to overfitting. We derive modifications to AdaBoost and related gradient-based coordin...
