Abstract. Similarity search in large multimedia databases requires efficient query processing based on suitable similarity models. Similarity models consist of a feature extraction...
This paper suggests a high-level continuous image model for planar star-shaped objects. Under this model, a planar object is a stochastic deformation of a star-shaped template. The...
Research in temporal databases has mainly focused on defining temporal data models by extending existing models, and developing access structures for temporal data. Little has bee...
Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...
Background: Designing appropriate machine learning methods for identifying genes that have a significant discriminating power for disease outcomes has become more and more importa...
