In this paper, we present a novel iris recognition method based on learned ordinal features.Firstly, taking full advantages of the properties of iris textures, a new iris represen...
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
We propose to use approximations of shape metrics, such as the Hausdorff distance, to define similarity measures between shapes. Our approximations being continuous and different...

Many settings of unsupervised learning can be viewed as quantization problems — the minimization of the expected quantization error subject to some restrictions. This allows the ...

Duality is a well-established concept in quantum physics. It formalises the fact that what one observes is not nature in itself, but--in Heisenberg's words--"nature expo...
