Programs designed from scratch often start with just a set of classes. Classes can be instantiated and so deliver the objects that are the carriers of information and function. In...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate a new method of learning partbased models for visual object recognition, from training data that only provides information about class member...
Inheritance and polymorphism are key mechanisms of the object-oriented approach that enable designers to develop systems in an incremental manner. In this paper, we develop techni...
The performance of object-oriented languages can be greatly improved if methods can be specialized for particular classes of arguments. Such specialization can provide the compile...
Causal models defined in terms of a collection of equations, as defined by Pearl, are axiomatized here. Axiomatizations are provided for three successively more general classes of...
