We present and analyze an algorithm to solve numerically BSDEs based on Picard's iterations and on a sequential control variate technique. Its convergence is geometric. Moreov...
Abstract— Temporal classification, such as activity recognition, is a key component for creating intelligent robot systems. In the case of robots, classification algorithms mus...

This paper presents the triple jump framework for accelerating the EM algorithm and other bound optimization methods. The idea is to extrapolate the third search point based on th...
The interaction between recursion in XPATH and recursion in DTDs makes it challenging to answer XPATH queries on XML data that is stored in an RDBMS via schema-based shredding. We...
This paper attempts to identify one of the necessary conditions for self-healing, or self-repair, in complex systems, and to propose means for satisfying this condition in heterog...
