We consider a general weighted least squares approximation problem with a membrane spline regularization term. The key parameters in this formulation are the weighting factors whi...
To understand a speaker’s turn of a conversation, one needs to segment it into intonational phrases, clean up any speech repairs that might have occurred, and identify discourse...
Given a set P of n points in the plane, we wish to find a set Q P of k points for which the convex hull conv(Q) has the minimum area. We solve this, and the related problem of fi...
Abstract We describe a method to approximate a segment of the intersection curve of two implicitly defined surfaces by a rational parametric curve. Starting from an initial soluti...
We present an unsupervised algorithm for aligning a pair of shapes in the presence of significant articulated motion and missing data, while assuming no knowledge of a template, u...
