Previous research has used program transformation to introduce parallelism and to exploit data locality. Unfortunately,these twoobjectives have usuallybeen considered independentl...
We demonstrate how to leverage a system’s capability for allto-all communication to achieve an exponential speed-up of local algorithms despite bandwidth and memory restrictions...
This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
In interest point based human action recognition, local descriptors are used to represent information in the neighbourhood around each extracted space-time interest point. The per...
Two of the mechanisms for creating natural transitions between adjacent sentences in a text, resulting in local coherence, involve discourse relations and switches of focus of att...
