Object matching is a fundamental operation in data analysis. It typically requires the definition of a similarity measure between the classes of objects to be matched. Instead, we...
In text-dependent speaker verification the speech signals have to be time-aligned. For that purpose dynamic time warping (DTW) can be used which performs the alignment by minimizi...
We provide a principle for semi-supervised learning based on optimizing the rate of communicating labels for unlabeled points with side information. The side information is expres...
Abstract. Let G be a directed planar graph of complexity n, each arc having a nonnegative length. Let s and t be two distinct faces of G; let s1, . . . , sk be vertices incident wi...
Given a set of objects with profits (any, even negative, numbers) assigned not only to separate objects but also to pairs of them, the unconstrained binary quadratic optimization p...
