We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
We present a novel variational and statistical approach for shape registration. Shapes of interest are implicitly embedded in a higher dimensional space of distance transforms. In...

Semi-supervised clustering uses the limited background knowledge to aid unsupervised clustering algorithms. Recently, a kernel method for semi-supervised clustering has been introd...
Abstract— Humanoid robots are appealing due to their inherent dexterity. However, these potential benefits may only be realized if the corresponding motion synthesis procedure i...
We present a new interactive modeling technique based on the notion of sculpting a solid material. A sculpting tool is controlled by a 3D input device and the material is represen...
