Swarms of microscopic organisms are well known in nature and have been shown to exhibit many unexpected collective behaviours. We model a swarm of artificial animats in a model wh...
Given a set of objects P and a query point q, a k nearest neighbor (k-NN) query retrieves the k objects in P that lie closest to q. Even though the problem is well-studied for sta...
In this paper, we propose a novel method, called local nonnegative matrix factorization (LNMF), for learning spatially localized, parts-based subspace representation of visual pat...
