Mergers are functions that transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one of the input sources has minentropy rate ...
Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...
Kernel functions are typically viewed as providing an implicit mapping of points into a high-dimensional space, with the ability to gain much of the power of that space without inc...
This paper discusses a new, symbolic approach to geometric modeling called generative modeling. The approach allows specification, rendering, and analysis of a wide variety of sha...
Dynamic programming provides a methodology to develop planners and controllers for nonlinear systems. However, general dynamic programming is computationally intractable. We have ...
