Many pervasive-computing applications depend on knowledge of user location. Because most current location-sensing techniques work only either indoors or outdoors, researchers have ...
Ensuring truthfulness amongst self-interested agents bidding against one another in an auction can be computationally expensive when prices are determined using the Vickrey-Clarke-...
Current methods for learning visual categories work well when a large amount of labeled data is available, but can run into severe difficulties when the number of labeled examples...
