Loosely coupled multi-agent systems are perceived as easier to plan for because they require less coordination between agent sub-plans. In this paper we set out to formalize this ...
Image similarity search is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Efficient similarity search across large image databases depends critically on the availability of compact ima...

Abstract. Given a family of subsets of an n-element universe, the kcover problem asks whether there are k sets in the family whose union contains the universe; in the k-packing pro...
We present a new family of linear time algorithms based on sufficient statistics for string comparison with mismatches under the string kernels framework. Our algorithms improve t...
We address the problem of minimizing the communication involved in the exchange of similar documents. We consider two users, A and B, who hold documents x and y respectively. Neit...
