We consider the problem of obtaining the approximate maximum a posteriori estimate of a discrete random field characterized by pairwise potentials that form a truncated convex mod...
This paper develops new algorithms for coalition formation within multi-sensor networks tasked with performing widearea surveillance. Specifically, we cast this application as an ...
