In this paper we explore use of a new rate-distortion metric for optimizing real-time Internet video streaming with the transmission control protocol (TCP). The basic idea is to c...
This paper examines the problem of finding an optimal policy for a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) when the model is not known or is only poorly specified. W...
Active selection of good training examples is an important approach to reducing data-collection costs in machine learning; however, most existing methods focus on maximizing classi...

We consider the problem of designing error correcting codes (ECC), a hard combinatorial optimization problem of relevance in the field of telecommunications. This problem is tackl...
This paper presents a method with an evolutionary approach to some of the tasks of integrated-circuit (IC) design. The work is focused on application-specific integrated circuits ...
