  • Information Theoretical Analysis of Self-Similar Trees

    Creator:
    Chunikhina, Evgenia V.
    Abstract:
    Tree-like patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Botanical trees, river networks, and blood systems are the most well-known examples of complex hierarchical systems met in observations. Interestingly, many of such systems exhibit statistical self-similarity. There are two main types of self-similarity: Horton self-similarity and Tokunaga self-similarity. Although there is an increased...

    Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...

    Dynamic CMOS circuits are commonly used in high-performance memory arrays to implement wide-NOR logic functions for their read and search operations. This is because dynamic circuits have significantly higher speed and lower area compared to static circuits for performing similar operations. Register File (RF) arrays are located at the top...

  • Active object systems

    Creator:
    Choi, Sungwoon
    Abstract:
    An active object system is a transition-based object-oriented system suitable for the design of various concurrent systems. An AOS consists of a collection of interacting objects, where the behavior of each object is determined by the transition statements provided in the class of that object. A transition statement is a...

  • Learning hierarchical decomposition rules for planning : an inductive logic programming approach

    Creator:
    Reddy, Chandrasekhara K.
    Abstract:
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning techniques have been central to automating a gamut of tasks from the mundane route planning and beer production to the ethereal image processing of space-ship images. Of all the planning techniques, hierarchical- decomposition planning has been the technique most employed in industrial-strength planners. Hierarchical-decomposition planning is...
