We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Abstract. Large-scale distributed computing applications require concurrent programming models that support modular and compositional software development. The actor model supports...

Kearns introduced the "statistical query" (SQ) model as a general method for producing learning algorithms which are robust against classification noise. We extend this ...
As a first step toward a notion of quantum data structures, we introduce a typing system for reflecting entanglement and separability. This is presented in the context of classi...
The irradiance at a point on a surface due to a polyhedral source of uniform brightness is given by a well-known analytic formula. In this paper we derive the corresponding analyt...
