How do design decisions impact the quality of the resulting software? In an empirical study of 52 ECLIPSE plug-ins, we found that the software design as well as past failure histo...
Automatically assessing the value of bioavailability from the chemical structure of a molecule is a very important issue in biomedicine and pharmacology. In this paper, we present...

The Earth Mover's distance was first introduced as a purely empirical way to measure texture and color similarities. We show that it has a rigorous probabilistic interpretati...
We present an efficient pixel-sampling technique for histogram-based search. Given a template image as a query, a typical histogram-based algorithm aims to find the location of ...
The invariance of the similarity measure in photometric distortions as well as its capability in producing subpixel accuracy are two desired and often required features in most st...
