: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
Noise figure is a commonly used system parameter that quantifies the degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the signal passes through a receiving system. Because of the...
We propose a reliability measure that identifies informative image cues useful for registration, and present a novel, data-driven approach to spatially adapt regularization to the...
Sequential diagnosis takes measurements of an abnormal system to identify faulty components, where the goal is to reduce the diagnostic cost, defined here as the number of measur...
This paper addresses the problem of seeking out parts of the environment that provide adequate features in order to perform robot localization. The objective is to choose good regi...
