Abstract. We present a new method (MIDES) to determine contraction kernels for the construction of graph pyramids. Experimentally the new method has a reduction factor higher than ...
We consider the output of a simulation model of a system about which little is initially known. This output is often dependent on a large number of factors. It is helpful, in exam...
Abstract. "Web 2.0" is a term frequently mentioned in media - apparently, applications such as Wikipedia, Social Network Services, Online Shops with integrated recommende...
The evaluation of biometric sample quality is of great importance in the evaluation of biometric algorithms. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical model to compute the sa...
Abstract. This paper presents a new stochastic preconditioning approach for large sparse matrices. For the class of matrices that are row-wise and column-wise irreducibly diagonall...
