We explore the possibility of a logic where a conclusion substantially improves over its premise(s): Specifically, we intend to rule out inference steps such that the premise conv...
In this paper we show the power of sampling techniques in designing efficient distributed algorithms. In particular, we show that using sampling techniques, on some networks, sele...
Adaptive methods are defined and experimentally studied for a two-scale edge detection process that mimics human visual perception of edges and is inspired by the parvo-cellular (...
We introduce a class of voting rules called generalized scoring rules. Under such a rule, each vote generates a vector of k scores, and the outcome of the voting rule is based onl...
This paper investigates an application of mobile sensing: detecting and reporting the surface conditions of roads. We describe a system and associated algorithms to monitor this i...
