We describe a recursive algorithm to quickly compute the N nearest neighbors according to a similarity measure in a metric space. The algorithm exploits an intrinsic property of a...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
Background: The occurrence of a genetic bottleneck in HIV sexual or mother-to-infant transmission has been well documented. This results in a majority of new infections being homo...

Abstract--This paper offers a new technique for spatially adaptive estimation. The local likelihood is exploited for nonparametric modeling of observations and estimated signals. T...
In this paper, we address the tasks of detecting, segmenting, parsing, and matching deformable objects. We use a novel probabilistic object model that we call a hierarchical defor...
