We estimate with a branching process model the propagation of load shed and the probability distribution of load shed in simulated blackouts of an electric power system. The avera...
Modern VLSI technology has changed the economic rules by which the balance between processing power, memory and communications is decided in computing systems. This will have a pr...
An automatic computer-aided detection system is developed for detecting pulmonary nodules from high resolution CT data. The system is based on the concept of machine learning. A ro...
The principle of maximum entropy provides a powerful framework for statistical models of joint, conditional, and marginal distributions. However, there are many important distribu...
Recent work on modeling the web graph has dwelt on capturing the degree distributions observed on the web. Pointing out that this represents a heavy reliance on "local" p...
