— We consider how to support a large number of users over a wide-area network whose interests are characterized by range top-k continuous queries. Given an object update, we need...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are an established framework for solving sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty. In this work, we propose a new method for batchmod...
Background: Classification of protein sequences is a central problem in computational biology. Currently, among computational methods discriminative kernel-based approaches provid...
A multimodal face verification process is presented for standard 2D color images, 2.5D range images and 3D meshes. A normalization in orientation and position is essential for 2.5...
Compound images contain a mixture of natural images, text, and graphics. They need special care in the use of compression because text and graphics cannot withstand the significan...
