Abstract—Compressive sensing is a new signal acquisition technology with the potential to reduce the number of measurements required to acquire signals that are sparse or compres...
Active learning sequentially selects unlabeled instances to label with the goal of reducing the effort needed to learn a good classifier. Most previous studies in active learning...
A frequent query in geospatial planning and decision making domains (e.g., emergency response, data acquisition, street cleaning), is to find an optimal traversal plan (OTP) that ...
