Drawing on the correspondence between the graph Laplacian, the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a manifold, and the connections to the heat equation, we propose a geometrically motiva...
With the ubiquity of information networks and their broad applications, the issue of similarity computation between entities of an information network arises and draws extensive r...
This paper presents a hierarchical-compositional model of human faces, as a three-layer AND-OR graph to account for the structural variabilities over multiple resolutions. In the A...
Orthogonal surfaces are nice mathematical objects which have interesting connections to various fields, e.g., integer programming, monomial ideals and order dimension. While orthog...
Several variations of nearest neighbor (NN) query have been investigated by the database community. However, realworld applications often result in the formulation of new variatio...
