In this paper, we propose a new method for rendering image-based objects. An object is decomposed into a set of 1D displacement textures in a preprocessing stage. During rendering...
In this paper we address the issue of automating systems management. Currently, any changes made in the configuration settings of the IT infrastructure in an enterprise are perfor...
Procedural techniques will soon automate many aspects of content creation for computer games. We describe an efficient, deterministic, methodology for procedurally generating 3D ga...
The problem of learning a sparse conic combination of kernel functions or kernel matrices for classification or regression can be achieved via the regularization by a block 1-norm...

Successful application of reinforcement learning algorithms often involves considerable hand-crafting of the necessary non-linear features to reduce the complexity of the value fu...
