Filament-based smoke with vortex shedding and variational reconnection
Simulating fluids based on vortex filaments is highly attractive for the creation of special effects because it gives artists full control over the simulation using familiar too...

Variational surface modeling
We present a new approachto interactive modeling of freeform surfaces. Instead of a fixed mesh of control points, the model presented to the user is that of an infinitely malleabl...

An algebraic model for parameterized shape editing
We present an approach to high-level shape editing that adapts the structure of the shape while maintaining its global characteristics. Our main contribution is a new algebraic mo...

What Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...

Anamorphic 3D geometry
An anamorphic image appears distorted from all but a few viewpoints. They have been studied by artists and architects since the early fifteenth century. Computer graphics opens t...
