Classifying high-dimensional numerical data is a very challenging problem. In high dimensional feature spaces, the performance of supervised learning methods suffer from the curse...
Covariance estimation for high dimensional vectors is a classically difficult problem in statistical analysis and machine learning. In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood ...
The finite difference discretization of the Poisson equation in three dimensions results in a large, sparse, and highly structured system of linear equations. This prototype prob...
The Spatial Approximation Tree (sa-tree) is a recently proposed data structure for searching in metric spaces. It has been shown that it compares favorably against alternative data...
Various problems in machine learning, databases, and statistics involve pairwise distances among a set of objects. It is often desirable for these distances to satisfy the propert...
