We show that the log-likelihood of several probabilistic graphical models is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the p-norm of the parameters. We discuss several implications ...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
Abstract. A popular framework for the interpretation of image sequences is the layers or sprite model, see e.g. [1], [2]. Jojic and Frey [3] provide a generative probabilistic mode...
The sequential importance sampling (SIS) algorithm has gained considerable popularity for its empirical success. One of its noted applications is to the binary contingency tables p...
- This work investigates bandwidth learning algorithms in a version of a distributed heterogeneous data dissemination system called the Agile Information Control Environment (AICE)...
