Absolute convergence: true trees from short sequences
Fast-converging methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees require that the sequences characterizing the taxa be of only polynomial length, a major asset in practice, since rea...

A Comparative Study on Disparity Analysis Based on Convergent and Rectified Views
In this paper, we present results of a comparative study on disparity analysis of convergent stereo systems. If the epipolar geometry is known, disparity analysis can be performed...

Optimization with EM and Expectation-Conjugate-Gradient
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...
