We define and evaluate a framework for estimating the energy consumption of pervasive Java-based software systems. The framework's primary objective is to enable an engineer ...
Multiple description coding (MDC) has emerged as a powerful technique for reliable real-time communications over lossy packet networks. In its basic form, it involves encoding a me...
Evaluating the similarity of images and their descriptors by employing discriminative learners has proven itself to be an effective face recognition paradigm. In this paper we sho...
Generative kernels represent theoretically grounded tools able to increase the capabilities of generative classification through a discriminative setting. Fisher Kernel is the fi...
