—We study the one-way number-on-the-forhead (NOF) communication complexity of the k-layer pointer jumping problem. Strong lower bounds for this problem would have important impli...
The variation caused by aging has not received adequate attention compared with pose, lighting, and expression variations. Aging is a complex process that affects both the 3D shap...
A two-stage cascaded classification approach with an optimal candidate selection scheme is proposed to recognize places using images taken by camera phones. An optimal acceptance ...
This paper details a fully automated face authentication system using low-cost near infrared imaging. The image normalization step consists of eye center localization, scale corre...
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...
