In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
Cardiac ablation procedures are becoming more routine to treat arrhythmias. The development of electrophysiological models will allow investigation of treatment strategies. However...
Beam search is used to maintain tractability in large search spaces at the expense of completeness and optimality. We study supervised learning of linear ranking functions for con...
Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
We introduce a boosting framework to solve a classification problem with added manifold and ambient regularization costs. It allows for a natural extension of boosting into both s...
