Clustering methods can be either data-driven or need-driven. Data-driven methods intend to discover the true structure of the underlying data while need-driven methods aims at org...
We consider the problem of improving named entity recognition (NER) systems by using external dictionaries--more specifically, the problem of extending state-of-the-art NER system...
We present a novel matching and similarity evaluation method for planar geometric shapes represented by sets of polygonal curves. Given two shapes, the matching algorithm randomly...
Compared with the video programs taken by professionals, home videos are always with low-quality content resulted from lack of professional capture skills. In this paper, we prese...
We propose a novel type of decomposition for polygonal shapes. It is thought that, for the task of object recognition, the human visual system uses a part-based representation. De...
