Abstract-- When dealing with massive quantities of data, topk queries are a powerful technique for returning only the k most relevant tuples for inspection, based on a scoring func...
Present approaches to human face detection have made several assumptions that restrict their ability to be extended to general imaging conditions. We identify that the key factori...
A generalized dice model for the pairwise comparison of non-necessarily independent random variables is established. It is shown how the transitivity of the probabilistic relation...
Probabilistic top-k ranking queries have been extensively studied due to the fact that data obtained can be uncertain in many real applications. A probabilistic top-k ranking quer...
Rate transition systems (RTS) are a special kind of transition systems introduced for defining the stochastic behavior of processes and for associating continuous-time Markov chain...
