Independence analysis is the problem of determining whether an update affects the result of a query, e.g. a constraint or materialized view. We develop a new, modular framework fo...
This paper establishes a connection between two apparently very different kinds of probabilistic models. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) models are used as "topic models&qu...
ABSTRACT. Motivated by economic thought, a recent research agenda has suggested the algorithmic study of combinatorial optimization problems under functions which satisfy the prope...
In this paper we introduce a novel approach to single view reconstruction using shape grammars. Our approach consists in modeling architectural styles using a set of basic shapes ...
The sounds generated by a writing instrument provide a rich and under-utilized source of information for pattern recognition. We examine the feasibility of recognition of handwrit...
