Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) with order-preserving hash functions require load balancing to ensure an even item-load over all nodes. While previous item-balancing algorithms only...
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
Since Chase and Simon presented their influential paper on perception in chess in 1973, the use of chunks has become the subject of a number of studies into the cognitive behavior ...
We study the problem of clustering discrete probability distributions with respect to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. This problem arises naturally in many applications. Our...
In analyzing the point-to-point wireless channel, insights about two qualitatively different operating regimes-bandwidth- and power-limited--have proven indispensable in the design...
