— Any given task can be solved in a number of ways, whether through path-planning, modeling, or control techniques. In this paper, we present a methodology for natural task decom...
In this paper we investigate a discriminative approach to feature weighting for topic identification using minimum classification error (MCE) training. Our approach learns featu...
The spline element method with constraints is a discretization method where the unknowns are expanded as polynomials on each element and Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce th...
This paper presents an interactive image segmentation framework which is ultra-fast and accurate. Our framework, termed "CO3", consists of three components: COupled repr...
Content-based classification of audio data is an important problem for various applications such as overall analysis of audio-visual streams, boundary detection of video story se...
