Many systems for tasks such as question answering, multi-document summarization, and information retrieval need robust numerical measures of lexical relatedness. Standard thesauru...
Uniform random sample is often useful in analyzing data. Usually taking a uniform sample is not a problem if the entire data resides in one location. However, if the data is distr...
In this paper, we present a compositional boosting algorithm for detecting and recognizing 17 common image structures in low-middle level vision tasks. These structures, called &q...
This thesis introduces a model of a random walk on a colored undirected graph. Such a graph has a single vertex set and distinct sets of edges, each of which has a color. A par...
This paper investigates three different rejection strategies for offline handwritten sentence recognition. The rejection strategies are implemented as a postprocessing step of a H...
