A mechanism for efficient mean-shift belief propagation (MSBP) is introduced. The novelty of our work is to use mean-shift to perform nonparametric mode-seeking on belief surfaces...
Numerous cognitive studies have indicated that the form and complexity of route instructions may be as important to human navigators as the overall length of route. Most automated ...
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
Process variations have become a critical issue in performance verification of high-performance designs. We present a new, statistical timing analysis method that accounts for int...
Static timing analysis of embedded software is important for systems with hard real-time constraints. To accurately estimate time bounds, it is essential to model the underlying m...
