In many real-world applications, such as image retrieval, it would be natural to measure the distances from one instance to others using instance specific distance which captures ...
Clustering aims to find useful hidden structures in data. In this paper we present a new clustering algorithm that builds upon the consistency method (Zhou, et.al., 2003), a semi-...
Large-scale comparison of genomic DNA is of fundamental importance in annotating functional elements of genomes. To perform large comparisons efficiently, BLAST (Methods: Companio...
—This paper addresses the problem of chip level thermal profile estimation using runtime temperature sensor readings. We address the challenges of a) availability of only a few t...
We propose an approach to speeding up object detection, with an emphasis on settings where multiple object classes are being detected. Our method uses a segmentation algorithm to ...
