An analysis of BGP convergence properties

by Timothy G. Griffin, Gordon Wilfong - In SIGCOMM
"... The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the de facto interdomain routing protocol used to exchange reachability information between Autonomous Systems in the global Internet. BGP is a path-vector protocol that allows each Autonomous System to override distance-based metrics with policy-based metrics wh ..."

analysis of routing policies to determine if they are safe. We explore the worst-case complexity for convergenceoriented static analysis of BGP routing policies. We present an abstract model of BGP and use it to define several global sanity conditions on routing policies that are related to BGP convergence

Greedy layer-wise training of deep networks

by Yoshua Bengio, Pascal Lamblin, Dan Popovici, Hugo Larochelle , 2006
"... Complexity theory of circuits strongly suggests that deep architectures can be much more efficient (sometimes exponentially) than shallow architectures, in terms of computational elements required to represent some functions. Deep multi-layer neural networks have many levels of non-linearities allow ..."

the optimization, by initializing weights in a region near a good local minimum, giving rise to internal distributed representations that are high-level abstractions of the input, bringing better generalization.

Explaining African economic performance

by Paul Collier - Journal of Economic Literature , 1999
"... The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors. They do not necessarily represent the views of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. Acknowledgements: We would like to thank Anke Höffler for research assist ..."

assistance in section 2 and Chris Adam, Janine Aron, Kees Burger, Bill Kinsey, Remco Oostendorp, Ritva Reinikka, Francis Teal, Steve Younger and three referees for comments. Abstract: Africa has had slow growth and a massive exodus of capital. In many respects it has been the most capital-hostile region. We

Probabilistic Simulations for Probabilistic Processes

by Roberto Segala, Nancy Lynch , 1994
"... Several probabilistic simulation relations for probabilistic systems are defined and evaluated according to two criteria: compositionality and preservation of "interesting" properties. Here, the interesting properties of a system are identified with those that are expressible in an untimed ..."
Abstract - Cited by 361 (19 self) - Add to MetaCart
in an untimed version of the Timed Probabilistic concurrent Computation Tree Logic (TPCTL) of Hansson. The definitions are made, and the evaluations carried out, in terms of a general labeled transition system model for concurrent probabilistic computation. The results cover weak simulations, which abstract

The Integration of Functions into Logic Programming: From Theory to Practice

by Michael Hanus - Journal of Logic Programming , 1994
"... Abstract. Functional logic programming languages combine the most important declarative programming paradigms, and attempts to combine these paradigms have a long history. The declarative multi-paradigm language Curry is influenced by recent advances in the foundations and implementation of function ..."

Internet Routing Instability

by Craig Labovitz, G. Robert Malan, Farnam Jahanian , 1997
"... This paper examines the network inter-domain routing information exchanged between backbone service providers at the major U.S. public Internet exchange points. Internet routing instability, or the rapid fluctuation of network reachability information, is an important problem currently facing the In ..."

the Internet engineering community. High levels of network instability can lead to packet loss, increased network latency and time to convergence. At the extreme, high levels of routing instability have lead to the loss of internal connectivity in wide-area, national networks. In this paper, we describe

Estimation of relative camera positions for uncalibrated cameras

by Richard I. Hartley , 1992
"... Abstract. This paper considers, the determination of internal camera parameters from two views of a point set in three dimensions. A non-iterative algorithm is given for determining the focal lengths of the two cameras, as well as their relative placement, assuming all other internal camera paramete ..."

Capital Flows and Capital-Markets Crises: The Simple Economics of Sudden Stops

by Guillermo A. Calvo - Journal of Applied Economics , 1998
"... Abstract: The paper studies mechanisms through which a sudden stop in international credit flows may bring about financial and balance of payments crises. It is shown that these crises can occur even though the current account deficit is fully financed by foreign direct investment. However, equity a ..."
