A 3-connected matroid M is sequential or has path width 3 if its ground set E(M) has a sequential ordering, that is, an ordering (e1, e2, . . . , en) such that ({e1, e2, . . . , ek...
We present Variable Influence Structure Analysis, or VISA, an algorithm that performs hierarchical decomposition of factored Markov decision processes. VISA uses a dynamic Bayesia...
In this paper, an object-based video retrieval methodology for search in large, heterogeneous video collections is presented. The proposed approach employs a real-time, compressed-...

Given a vector of floating-point numbers with exact sum s, we present an algorithm for calculating a faithful rounding of s, i.e. the result is one of the immediate floating-point ...
