The paper explores a very simple agent design method called Q-decomposition, wherein a complex agent is built from simpler subagents. Each subagent has its own reward function and...
Hierarchical topic taxonomies have proliferated on the World Wide Web [5, 18], and exploiting the output space decompositions they induce in automated classification systems is an...
The Discrete Wavelet Transform is a proven tool for a wide range of database applications. However, despite broad acceptance, some of its properties have not been fully explored a...

A monotone distribution P over a (partially) ordered domain assigns higher probability to y than to x if y x in the order. We study several natural problems concerning testing pr...
In this paper, we present novel algorithms that effectively combine physical layout and early logic synthesis to improve overall design quality. In addition, we employ partitionin...
