Approximate text search is a basic technique to handle recognized text that contains recognition errors. This paper proposes an approximate string search for recognized text using...
We present an approximation algorithm for computing the diameter of a point-set in d-dimensions. The new algorithm is sensitive to the "hardness" of computing the diamet...
We give a simple algorithm for the MINIMUM DIRECTED MULTICUT problem, and show that it gives an Ç´ÔÒµapproximation. This improves on the previous approximation guarantee of ...
This paper addresses the problem of category-level image classification. The underlying image model is a graph whose nodes correspond to a dense set of regions, and edges reflec...
—We introduce a simple image descriptor referred to as the image signature. We show, within the theoretical framework of sparse signal mixing, that this quantity spatially approx...
