Abstract. The efficient management of interval sequences represents a core requirement for many temporal and spatial database applications. With the Relational Interval Tree (RI-tr...
Background: Expressed sequence tag (EST) collections are composed of a high number of single-pass, redundant, partial sequences, which need to be processed, clustered, and annotat...
Spatial data mining, i.e., discovery of interesting characteristics and patterns that may implicitly exist in spatial databases, is a challenging task due to the huge amounts of s...
Perceptron training is widely applied in the natural language processing community for learning complex structured models. Like all structured prediction learning frameworks, the ...
The ability to detect a persons unconstrained hand in a natural video sequence has applications in sign language, gesture recognition and HCI. This paper presents a novel, unsuper...
