— For a wide variety of sensor network environments, location information is unavailable or expensive to obtain. We propose a location-free, lightweight, distributed, and data-ce...
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in gapped q-gram filters for approximate string matching. Important design parameters for filters are for example the value of q, the f...
We consider an optimization problem in probabilistic inference: Given n hypotheses Hj, m possible observations Ok, their conditional probabilities pk j, and a particular Ok, selec...
The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
The complexity and detail of geometric scenes that are used in today’s computer animated films and interactive games have reached a level where the manual creation by tradition...
