Abstract--The particle swarm is an algorithm for finding optimal regions of complex search spaces through the interaction of individuals in a population of particles. Even though t...
We present a new method for real-time rendering of objects with complex isotropic BRDFs under distant natural illumination, as specified by an environment map. Our approach is bas...
Abstract. In this paper we discuss new adaptive proposal strategies for sequential Monte Carlo algorithms--also known as particle filters--relying on new criteria evaluating the qu...
Different aspects of the curse of dimensionality are known to present serious challenges to various machine-learning methods and tasks. This paper explores a new aspect of the dim...
Skyline queries have gained considerable attention for multicriteria analysis of large-scale datasets. However, the skyline queries are known to return too many results for highdi...
