Numerous statistical learning methods have been developed for visual recognition tasks. Few attempts, however, have been made to address theoretical issues, and in particular, stud...
The traditional SPM approach based on bag-of-features (BoF) must use nonlinear classifiers to achieve good image classification performance. This paper presents a simple but effec...
In this paper a method for estimating a rigid skeleton, including skinning weights, skeleton connectivity, and joint positions, given a sparse set of example poses is presented. I...
One of the starting points of propositional proof complexity is the seminal paper by Cook and Reckhow [6], where they defined propositional proof systems as poly-time computable f...
We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, w...
