Based on the thermodynamic concept of a reservoir, we investigate a computational model for interaction with unresolved degrees of freedom (a thermal bath). We assume that a finite...
In this paper, we investigate a problem of predicting what images are likely to appear on the Web at a future time point, given a query word and a database of historical image str...
Nearest neighbor query is one of the most important operations in spatial databases and their application domains, e.g., locationbased services, advanced traveler information syst...
Nonlinear registration of 3D surfaces is important in many medical imaging applications, including the mapping of longitudinal changes in anatomy, or of multi-subject functional M...
