This paper presents our experiments in question answering for speech corpora. These experiments focus on improving the answer extraction step of the QA process. We present two app...
Human activity can be described as a sequence of 3D body postures. The traditional approach to recognition and 3D reconstruction of human activity has been to track motion in 3D, m...
We present a novel face recognition method using automatically extracted sketch by a multi-layer grammatical face model. First, the observed face is parsed into a 3layer (face, pa...
We propose an algorithm for contouring k-manifolds (k = 1, 2) embedded in an arbitrary n-dimensional space. We assume (n−k) geometric constraints are represented as polynomial e...
In this paper, we address the problem of designing a scalable, accurate query processor for peerto-peer filesharing and similar distributed keyword search systems. Using a global...
