— A decoder-friendly subpel motion vector (MV) selection scheme for H.264/AVC video encoding is proposed in this work. First, the rate-distortion (RD) relationship with respect t...
The queries defined on data warehouses are complex and use several join operations that induce an expensive computational cost. This cost becomes even more prohibitive when querie...
Acoustic events produced in meeting-room-like environments may carry information useful for perceptually aware interfaces. In this paper, we focus on the problem of combining diffe...
The purpose of this paper is to show that a well known machine learning technique based on Decision Trees can be effectively used to select the best approach (in terms of efficien...
Optimizing programs at run-time provides opportunities to apply aggressive optimizations to programs based on information that was not available at compile time. At run time, prog...
