We propose a considerably faster approximation of the well known SIFT method. The main idea is to use efficient data structures for both, the detector and the descriptor. The detec...
The Tile Assembly Model is a Turing universal model that Winfree introduced in order to study the nanoscale self-assembly of complex (typically aperiodic) DNA crystals. Winfree ex...
Approximate dynamic programming is emerging as a powerful tool for certain classes of multistage stochastic, dynamic problems that arise in operations research. It has been applie...
Many interesting problems, including Bayesian network structure-search, can be cast in terms of finding the optimum value of a function over the space of graphs. However, this fun...
There is evidence that the numbers in probabilistic inference don't really matter. This paper considers the idea that we can make a probabilistic model simpler by making fewe...
