A gridding Hough transform (GHT) is proposed to detect the straight lines in sports video, which is much faster and requires much less memory than the previous Hough transforms. T...

Abstract. The purpose of the present paper is to examine the relationships between target and concatenation costs and the quality (with focus on naturalness) of generated speech. S...
We develop a penalized kernel smoothing method for the problem of selecting nonzero elements of the conditional precision matrix, known as conditional covariance selection. This p...
We use convex relaxation techniques to produce lower bounds on the optimal value of subset selection problems and generate good approximate solutions. We then explicitly bound the...

Model selection is an important ingredient of many machine learning algorithms, in particular when the sample size in small, in order to strike the right trade-off between overfitt...
