With multimedia applications, the Internet traffic increased a lot in volume, but also suffered major alterations in its nature, requesting other network services besides the curr...
We identify four types of errors that unsupervised induction systems make and study each one in turn. Our contributions include (1) using a meta-model to analyze the incorrect bia...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...
One issue involved in accessing multiple heterogeneous information sources is how to integrate the retrieved data. SIMS, an information mediator, handles this problem by mapping t...
