We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
This paper describes the dynamic control of a 3 degree of freedom (DOF) finger emulating a human finger for reaching a desired fingertip position in space. The control consists of ...
The watershed transformation is an efficient tool for segmenting grayscale images. An original approach to the watershed [1,9] consists in modifying the original image by lowering...
Flash memory has become a virtually indispensable component for mobile devices in today’s information society. However, conventional testing methods often fail to detect hidden b...
We define tree automata with global constraints (TAGC), generalizing the well-known class of tree automata with global equality and disequality constraints [14] (TAGED). TAGC can...
