We propose a novel sequential decision approach to modeling ordinal ratings in collaborative filtering problems. The rating process is assumed to start from the lowest level, eva...
—Recent advances in virtualization technology have made it a common practice to consolidate virtual machines(VMs) into a fewer number of servers. An efficient consolidation sche...
A random variable with distribution P is observed in Gaussian noise and is estimated by a minimum meansquare estimator that assumes that the distribution is Q. This paper shows tha...
Abstract--Gibilisco and Isola have recently proposed a definition of Fisher information for random variables taking values in a finite group that is analogous to the definition for...
The notion of a proposition as a set of possible worlds or states occupies central stage in probability theory, semantics and epistemology, where it serves as the fundamental unit...
In this paper we propose and analyze a Stochastic-Collocation method to solve elliptic Partial Differential Equations with random coefficients and forcing terms (input data of the...
Abstract. Suppose given a network endowed with a multiflow. We want to estimate some quantities connected with this multiflow, for instance the value of an s
We examine generalizations of random variables and martingales. We prove a new convergence theorem for setvalued martingales. We also generalize a well known characterization of se...
We study graphical modeling in the case of stringvalued random variables. Whereas a weighted finite-state transducer can model the probabilistic relationship between two strings, ...
Consider the complete n-vertex graph whose edge-lengths are independent exponentially distributed random variables. Simultaneously for each pair of vertices, put a constant flow ...
