Max and min operations have interesting properties that facilitate the exchange of information between the symbolic and real-valued domains. As such, neural networks that employ m...
A new algorithm is presented which approximates the perceived visual similarity between images. The images are initially transformed into a feature space which captures visual str...
Sampling is an important tool for estimating large, complex sums and integrals over highdimensional spaces. For instance, importance sampling has been used as an alternative to ex...
In this paper, we survey the techniques for image-based rendering. Unlike traditional 3D computer graphics in which 3D geometry of the scene is known, image-based rendering techni...
The University of Maryland participated in three TREC-6 tasks: ad hoc retrieval, cross-language retrieval, and spoken document retrieval. The principal focus of the work was evalu...
