The paper uses relationships between random walks, combinatorial potential theory, trees, and electric circuits to generate multi-label segmentations in images. The proposed segmentation algorithm is ...

The key idea is that the hitting times of the random walk provide a random function for which no algorithm can locate the minimum within 2 d (1/2 - ε) steps. The purpose of The Annals of Probability ...

The lab has also designed a simple algorithm that encodes recognition between cargos and their destinations, and allows for a simple robot design.

Such algorithms are very useful for modeling such things as Brownian motion – the seemingly random movement of particles suspended in a fluid – and Boson Sampling – an experimental system ...

Thermodynamic computing is similar to probabilistic computing, where randomness and noise aren't obstacles to overcome but valuable tools for solving complex problems. Traditional computer chips ...

Single atoms have been spotted doing the quantum version of the random walk by physicists in Germany. This sighting of a “quantum walk” could help in the design of quantum search algorithms, or in the ...
