Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. Special cases of this problem include sampling colourings and independent sets a...
The Beltrami flow is an efficient non-linear filter, that was shown to be effective for color image processing. The corresponding anisotropic diffusion operator strongly couple...

— We consider a distributed system modeled as a possibly large network of automata. Planning in this system consists in selecting and organizing actions in order to reach a goal ...
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
Near-duplicate keyframes (NDK) play a unique role in large-scale video search, news topic detection and tracking. In this paper, we propose a novel NDK retrieval approach by explo...
