Fredman, Sedgewick, Sleator, and Tarjan proposed the pairing heap as a self-adjusting, streamlined version of the Fibonacci heap. It provably supports all priority queue operation...
Recently, nonrigid shape matching has received more and more attention. For nonrigid shapes, most neighboring points cannot move independently under deformation due to physical co...
We pose the question: how do we efficiently evaluate a join operator, distributed over a heterogeneous network? Our objective here is to optimize the delay of output tuples. We di...
This paper presents the triple jump framework for accelerating the EM algorithm and other bound optimization methods. The idea is to extrapolate the third search point based on th...
This paper presents a new framework called fuzzy relevance feedback in interactive content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems based on soft-decision. An efficient learning appro...
