In this paper we present a technique for computing the direct lighting in a three-dimensional scene containing area light sources. Our method correctly handles partial visibility ...
Secure two-party computation allows two untrusting parties to jointly compute an arbitrary function on their respective private inputs while revealing no information beyond the ou...
MapReduce is a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets. Users specify a map function that processes a key/value pair to ge...
The conventional method of generating a basis that is optimally adapted (in MSE) for representation of an ensemble of signals is Principal Component Analysis (PCA). A more ambitio...
