Most approaches to topic modeling assume an independence between documents that is frequently violated. We present an topic model that makes use of one or more user-specified grap...
Modeling text with topics is currently a popular research area in both Machine Learning and Information Retrieval (IR). Most of this research has focused on automatic methods thou...
We present a new statistical shape-from-shading framework for images of unknown illumination. The object (e.g., face) to be reconstructed is described by a parametric model. To de...
The spherical harmonic (SPHARM) description is a powerful surface modeling technique that can model arbitrarily shaped but simply connected three dimensional (3D) objects. Because...

In this paper, we present an e cient algorithm for contact determination between spline models. We make use of a new hierarchy, called ShellTree, that comprises of spherical shell...
