—Code smells are poor implementation choices, thought to make object-oriented systems hard to maintain. In this study, we investigate if classes with code smells are more change-...
Relational autocorrelation is ubiquitous in relational domains. This observed correlation between class labels of linked instances in a network (e.g., two friends are more likely ...
Pattern recognition problems often suffer from the larger intra-class variation due to situation variations such as pose, walking speed, and clothing variations in gait recognition...
In earlier work, we developed a fast method for 2-D shape retrieval based on point correspondences of silhouette contours. That method did not assume that the database shapes had ...
Abstract--In this paper, we describe an object-based video compression scheme based on the derivation and efficient coding of motion boundaries. First, we recursively identify a sm...
