Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
The cpquantile of an ordered sequenceof data values is the element with rank ‘pn, where n is the total number of values. Accurate estimates of quantiles are required for the sol...
The enhanced pay-per-view (EPPV) model for providing continuous-media-on-demand(CMOD) services associates with each continuous media clip a display frequency that dependson the cl...
Abstract. In this paper a new method for analyzing the intrinsic dimensionality (ID) of low dimensional manifolds in high dimensional feature spaces is presented. The basic idea is...
Abstract. In this paper we compare two methods for intrinsic dimensionality (ID) estimation based on optimally topology preserving maps (OTPMs). The rst one is a direct approach, w...
