This paper presents a method for learning a distance metric from relative comparison such as “A is closer to B than A is to C”. Taking a Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach,...
In this paper, we improve and tailor a recent statistical region merging approach to biased (partially supervised) grouping. The approach appears to be attractive both for its the...
This paper focuses on matching 1D structures by variational methods. We provide rigorous rules for the construction of the cost function, on the basis of an analysis of properties ...
The Santa Claus problem is an interesting exercise in concurrent programming which has been used in a comparison of the concurrency mechanisms of Ada and Java. We present a simple...
We present an optimized query rewriting algorithm for OWL 2 QL that computes the rewriting set of a user query by avoiding unnecessary inferences and extended clause subsumption ch...
