Mappings to structured output spaces (strings, trees, partitions, etc.) are typically learned using extensions of classification algorithms to simple graphical structures (eg., li...
Many natural and man-made structures have a boundary that shows certain level of bilateral symmetry, a property that has been used to solve many computer-vision tasks. In this pap...
Decision-theoretic optimization is becoming a popular tool in the user interface community, but creating accurate cost (or utility) functions has become a bottleneck — in most c...
Query optimization is used frequently in relational database management systems. Most existing techniques are based on reordering the relational operators, where the most selective...
Biologists highly rely on good algorithms for finding homologous regions in bimolecular sequences. An advanced homology search program named PatternHunter has recently been develo...
