We consider the problem of fitting a conic to a set of 2D points. It is commonly agreed that minimizing geometrical error, i.e. the sum of squared distances between the points and...
We consider the problem of discovering the optimal pair of substring patterns with bounded distance α, from a given set S of strings. We study two kinds of pattern classes, one is...
The Earth Mover Distance (EMD) between two equalsize sets of points in Rd is defined to be the minimum cost of a bipartite matching between the two pointsets. It is a natural metr...
Abstract. The estimation of human age from face images is an interesting problem in computer vision. We proposed a general distance metric learning scheme for regression problems, ...
The Maximal Covering Location Problem (MCLP) maximizes the population that has a facility within a maximum travel distance or time. Numerous extensions have been proposed to enhan...
