Many interactive image segmentation approaches use an objective function which includes appearance models as an unknown variable. Since the resulting optimization problem is NP-har...
Software development techniques are continuously evolving with the goal of solving the main problems that still affect the building and maintenance of software systems: time, cost...
We consider the semi-supervised learning problem, where a decision rule is to be learned from labeled and unlabeled data. In this framework, we motivate minimum entropy regulariza...
Computational trust and reputation models have been recognized as one of the key technologies required to design and implement agent systems. These models manage and aggregate the...
: Two major problems in constructing data federations (for example, data warehouses and database federations) concern achieving and maintaining consistency and a uniform representa...
