Although Support Vector Machines(SVM) succeed in classifying several image databases using image descriptors proposed in the literature, no single descriptor can be optimal for ge...
Abstract This position paper explores the nature and role of two bio-inspired paradigms, namely Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) and Swarm Intelligence (SI). We argue that there are...
We present a dual decomposition approach to the treereweighted belief propagation objective. Each tree in the tree-reweighted bound yields one subproblem, which can be solved with...
Finding the optimal teaching strategy for an individual student is difficult even for an experienced teacher. Identifying and incorporating multiple optimal teaching strategies fo...
In this paper, we take a holistic approach to the protocol architecture design in multihop wireless networks. Our goal is to integrate various protocol layers into a rigorous fram...
