In this paper, we develop the continuous time dynamic topic model (cDTM). The cDTM is a dynamic topic model that uses Brownian motion to model the latent topics through a sequenti...
Today's Internet is extremely vulnerable to Distributed Denial of service (DDoS) attacks. There is tremendous pressure on the sites performing online business and ISP's ...
The static background paper or canvas texture usually used for non-photorealistic animation greatly impedes the sensation of motion and results in a disturbing “shower door” e...
The calculation of value-at-risk (VAR) for large portfolios of complex instruments is among the most demanding and widespread computational challenges facing the financial industr...
