Shape of an object is an important feature for image and multimedia similarity retrievals. In our previous studies we introduced a new boundary-based technique (MBC-based) for shap...
Abstract. If a set of equations E∪Ax is such that E is confluent, terminating, and coherent modulo Ax, narrowing with E modulo Ax provides a complete E∪Ax-unification algorit...
— Log-linear models are widely used for labeling feature vectors and graphical models, typically to estimate robust conditional distributions in presence of a large number of pot...
— an efficient rate-distortion (R-D) optimal method for transcoding hierarchical B-pictures is proposed in this paper. A new R-D model is presented for fast transcoding hierarchi...
Distributed Genetic Algorithms (DGAs) designed for the Internet have to take its high communication cost into consideration. For island model GAs, the migration topology has a maj...
