For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. In applications that use a large number of groups, ...
Kernel methods are effective approaches to the modeling of structured objects in learning algorithms. Their major drawback is the typically high computational complexity of kernel ...
