Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
A partition of a set of n items is a grouping of the items into k disjoint classes of equal size. Any partition can be modeled as a graph: the items become the vertices of the grap...
Abstract. This paper deals, for the first time, with an analysis of localization capabilities of weakly supervised categorization systems. Most existing categorization approaches ...
Pedestrian detection in still image should handle the large appearance and stance variations arising from the articulated structure, various clothing of human as well as viewpoints...
We study the recognized open problem of designing revenuemaximizing combinatorial auctions. It is unsolved even for two bidders and two items for sale. Rather than pursuing the pu...
