Traditionally, optimizers are “programmed” to optimize queries following a set of buildin procedures. However, optimizers should be robust to its changing environment to gener...
Data products generated from remotely-sensed, geospatial imagery (RSI) used in emerging areas, such as global climatology, environmental monitoring, land use, and disaster managem...
We introduce a model of DNA sequence evolution which can account for biases in mutation rates that depend on the identity of the neighboring bases. An analytic solution for this c...
Human vision system actively seeks interesting regions in images to reduce the search effort in tasks, such as object detection and recognition. Similarly, prominent actions in v...
