— Passively adaptive and underactuated robotic hands have shown the potential to achieve reliable grasping in unstructured environments without expensive mechanisms or sensors. I...
Problems involving high-dimensional data, such as pattern recognition, image analysis, and gene clustering, often require a preliminary step of dimension reduction before or durin...
Some real-world problems are partially decomposable, in that they can be decomposed into a set of coupled subproblems, that are each relatively easy to solve. However, when these ...
We develop a multi-class object detection framework whose core component is a nearest neighbor search over object part classes. The performance of the overall system is critically...
We present a practical algorithm that provably achieves the global optimum for a class of bilinear programs commonly arising in computer vision applications. Our approach relies o...
