Let G be a directed edge-weighted graph and let P be a shortest path from s to t in G. The replacement paths problem asks to compute, for every edge e on P, the shortest s-to-t pat...
We study the problem of minimizing the expected loss of a linear predictor while constraining its sparsity, i.e., bounding the number of features used by the predictor. While the r...
An efficient data reduction scheme for the simplification of a surface given by a large set X of 3D point-samples is proposed. The data reduction relies on a recursive point remov...
Fast and frugal heuristics are well studied models of bounded rationality. Psychological research has proposed the take-the-best heuristic as a successful strategy in decision mak...
—We present an OCR-driven writer identification algorithm in this paper. Our algorithm learns writer-specific characteristics more precisely from explicit character alignment usi...
