We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...
We introduce the concept of "minimal" search algorithm for a set of functions to optimize. We investigate the structure of closed under permutation (c.u.p.) sets and we c...
We consider the problem of obtaining the approximate maximum a posteriori estimate of a discrete random field characterized by pairwise potentials that form a truncated convex mod...
This paper describes efficient data structures, namely the Indexed P-tree, Block P-tree, and Indexed-Block P-tree (or IP-tree, BP-tree, and IBP-tree, respectively, for short), for...
A distributed memory parallel version of the group average Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering algorithm is proposed to enable scaling the document clustering problem to large c...
