In this paper, we cast the image-ranking problem into the task of identifying "authority" nodes on an inferred visual similarity graph and propose an algorithm to analyz...
Result diversity is a topic of great importance as more facets of queries are discovered and users expect to find their desired facets in the first page of the results. However,...
This paper presents a new approach for virtual view synthesis that does not require any information of scene geometry. Our approach first generates multiple virtual views at the s...
Constraint Satisfaction Problems can be solved using either iterative improvement or constructive search approaches. Iterative improvement techniques converge quicker than the cons...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are stochastic search methods that have been successfully applied in many search, optimization, and machine learning problems. Their parallel counterpart (...
