We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
We present some theoretical results related to the problem
of actively searching for a target in a 3D environment,
under the constraint of a maximum search time. We define
the o...
One of the fundamental problems in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been the gap between low-level visual features and high-level semantic concepts. To narrow down this gap...
We present a formalism that is able to cope with search and congestion simultaneously. This formalism avoids the problem of simulating the dynamics of the search-communication proc...
