The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

We present a method for nonrigid registration of 2-D geometric shapes. Our contribution is twofold. First, we extend the classic chamfer-matching energy to a variational functional...
The paper describes a new approach using a Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to extract physical and logical layouts in unconstrained handwritten letters such as those sent by indi...
Abstract. Monotone systems of polynomial equations (MSPEs) are systems of fixedpoint equations X1 = f1(X1, . . . , Xn), . . . , Xn = fn(X1, . . . , Xn) where each fi is a polynomia...

In this paper we compare the average performance of one class of low-discrepancy quasi-Monte Carlo sequences for global optimization. Weiner measure is assumed as the probability ...
