—This paper presents an Improved Snake Model (ISM) effective for performing fast image segmentation. The work takes advantage of two well-known snake models of Balloon [1] and GG...
This tutorial focuses on advanced techniques to cope with the complexity of designing modern digital chips which are complete systems often containing multiple processors, complex...
Two decades ago, Megiddo and Dyer showed that linear programming in two and three dimensions (and subsequently any constant number of dimensions) can be solved in linear time. In ...
Exact substring matching queries on large data collections can be answered using q-gram indices, that store for each occurring q-byte pattern an (ordered) posting list with the po...
Heuristic functions make MDP solvers practical by reducing their time and memory requirements. Some of the most effective heuristics (e.g., the FF heuristic function) first determ...
