We introduce a new class of games, asynchronous congestion games (ACGs). In an ACG, each player has a task that can be carried out by any element of a set of resources, and each r...
Spin systems are a general way to describe local interactions between nodes in a graph. In statistical mechanics, spin systems are often used as a model for physical systems. In c...
In this paper, a novel framework for the recovery of 3D surfaces of faces from single images is developed. The underlying principle is shape from recognition, i.e. the idea that p...
Image matting deals with finding the probability that each pixel in an image belongs to a user specified `object' or to the remaining `background'. Most existing methods...
In the emerging area of sensor-based systems, a significant challenge is to develop scalable, fault-tolerant methods to extract useful information from the data the sensors collec...
