Optimization Flow Control, I: Basic Algorithm and Convergence

by Steven H. Low, David E. Lapsley - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1999
"... We propose an optimization approach to flow control where the objective is to maximize the aggregate source utility over their transmission rates. We view network links and sources as processors of a distributed computation system to solve the dual problem using gradient projection algorithm. In thi ..."

Linear pattern matching algorithms

by Peter Weiner - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 14TH ANNUAL IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON SWITCHING AND AUTOMATA THEORY. IEEE , 1972
"... In 1970, Knuth, Pratt, and Morris [1] showed how to do basic pattern matching in linear time. Related problems, such as those discussed in [4], have previously been solved by efficient but sub-optimal algorithms. In this paper, we introduce an interesting data structure called a bi-tree. A linear ti ..."

The geometry of graphs and some of its algorithmic applications

by Nathan Linial, Eran London, Yuri Rabinovich - COMBINATORICA , 1995
"... In this paper we explore some implications of viewing graphs as geometric objects. This approach offers a new perspective on a number of graph-theoretic and algorithmic problems. There are several ways to model graphs geometrically and our main concern here is with geometric representations that res ..."

Learning quickly when irrelevant attributes abound: A new linear-threshold algorithm

by Nick Littlestone - Machine Learning , 1988

Robust Monte Carlo Localization for Mobile Robots

by Sebastian Thrun, Dieter Fox, Wolfram Burgard, Frank Dellaert , 2001
"... Mobile robot localization is the problem of determining a robot's pose from sensor data. This article presents a family of probabilistic localization algorithms known as Monte Carlo Localization (MCL). MCL algorithms represent a robot's belief by a set of weighted hypotheses (samples), whi ..."

), which approximate the posterior under a common Bayesian formulation of the localization problem. Building on the basic MCL algorithm, this article develops a more robust algorithm called MixtureMCL, which integrates two complimentary ways of generating samples in the estimation. To apply this algorithm

Reinforcement Learning I: Introduction

by Richard S. Sutton, Andrew G. Barto , 1998
"... In which we try to give a basic intuitive sense of what reinforcement learning is and how it differs and relates to other fields, e.g., supervised learning and neural networks, genetic algorithms and artificial life, control theory. Intuitively, RL is trial and error (variation and selection, search ..."

Learning in graphical models

by Michael I. Jordan - STATISTICAL SCIENCE , 2004
"... Statistical applications in fields such as bioinformatics, information retrieval, speech processing, image processing and communications often involve large-scale models in which thousands or millions of random variables are linked in complex ways. Graphical models provide a general methodology for ..."

We review some of the basic ideas underlying graphical models, including the algorithmic ideas that allow graphical models to be deployed in large

Pictorial Structures for Object Recognition

by Pedro F. Felzenszwalb, Daniel P. Huttenlocher - IJCV , 2003
"... In this paper we present a statistical framework for modeling the appearance of objects. Our work is motivated by the pictorial structure models introduced by Fischler and Elschlager. The basic idea is to model an object by a collection of parts arranged in a deformable configuration. The appearance ..."

Mining Generalized Association Rules

by Ramakrishnan Srikant, Rakesh Agrawal , 1995
"... We introduce the problem of mining generalized association rules. Given a large database of transactions, where each transaction consists of a set of items, and a taxonomy (is-a hierarchy) on the items, we find associations between items at any level of the taxonomy. For example, given a taxonomy th ..."
Abstract - Cited by 591 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
solution to the problem is to add all ancestors of each item in a transaction to the transaction, and then run any of the algorithms for mining association rules on these "extended transactions ". However, this "Basic" algorithm is not very fast; we present two algorithms, Cumulate
