This paper investigates spectral approaches to the problem of point pattern matching. We make two contributions. First, we consider rigid point-set alignment. Here we show how ker...
Intrusion Detection Systems such as Snort scan incoming packets for evidence of security threats. The most computation-intensive part of these systems is a text search against hund...
The success of kernel methods including support vector machines (SVMs) strongly depends on the design of appropriate kernels. While initially kernels were designed in order to han...
Given a pattern p over an alphabet Σp and a text t over an alphabet Σt, we consider the problem of determining a mapping f from Σp to Σ+ t such that t = f(p1)f(p2) . . . f(pm)....
For an image, texture unit (TU) is a small complete unit which characterizes the local texture of a given pixel and its neighborhood. Recently, TU-based approaches have been widel...
