We propose an extension of the conformal (or geodesic) active contour framework in which the conformal factor depends not only on the position of the curve but also on the directi...
This paper investigates improvements of an online handwriting stroke-order analysis algorithm -- cube search, based on cube graph stroke-order generation model and dynamic program...
To achieve a face recognition system robust to the presence of glasses, we have developped a glasses detection and extraction algorithm. Detection is realized using edge informati...
In this paper, we define a family of syntactic kernels for automatic relational learning from pairs of natural language sentences. We provide an efficient computation of such mode...
Research in reinforcementlearning (RL)has thus far concentrated on two optimality criteria: the discounted framework, which has been very well-studied, and the averagereward frame...
