It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...
Text extraction in mixed-type documents is a pre-processing and necessary stage for many document applications. In mixed-type color documents, text, drawings and graphics appear w...
This paper presents a new approach to rendering triangular algebraic free form surfaces. A hierarchical subdivision of the surface with associated tight bounding volumes provides ...
Interconnect optimization for VLSI circuits has received wide attention. To model routing surfaces, multiple circuit layers are freabstracted as a single rectilinear plane, ignori...
Beyond already existing huge data volumes, e-science communities face major challenges in managing the anticipated data deluge of forthcoming projects. Community-driven data grids...
