The power of sparse signal coding with learned overcomplete dictionaries has been demonstrated in a variety of applications and fields, from signal processing to statistical infe...
The sequential parameter optimization (spot) package for R (R Development Core Team, 2008) is a toolbox for tuning and understanding simulation and optimization algorithms. Model-...
The mortality related to cervical cancer can be substantially reduced through early detection and treatment. However, current detection techniques, such as Pap smear and colposcop...
The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...
This paper introduces a level set methodology for the precise boundary localization of image objects within an indicated region, designed to be particularly robust against weak or...
