— We consider the problem of task assignment and execution in multirobot systems, by proposing a procedure for bid estimation in auction protocols. Auctions are of interest to mu...
Abstract Most ranking algorithms are based on the optimization of some loss functions, such as the pairwise loss. However, these loss functions are often different from the criter...
We define the crouching Dirichlet, hidden Markov model (CDHMM), an HMM for partof-speech tagging which draws state prior distributions for each local document context. This simple...
: Networked systems that gather sensor data in order to react to phenomena in their surroundings are faced with a growing need for adaptive behavior to operate in dynamically chang...
The paper addresses the convergence of a decentralized Robbins-Monro algorithm for networks of agents. This algorithm combines local stochastic approximation steps for finding th...
