Many real-world problems are inherently hierarchically structured. The use of this structure in an agent’s policy may well be the key to improved scalability and higher performa...
—We introduce a simple image descriptor referred to as the image signature. We show, within the theoretical framework of sparse signal mixing, that this quantity spatially approx...
Many computer vision and image processing tasks require the preservation of local discontinuities, terminations and bifurcations. Denoising with feature preservation is a challeng...
Among image restoration literature, there are mainly two kinds of approach. One is based on a process over image wavelet coefficients, as wavelet shrinkage for denoising. The other...
In a placed circuit, there are a lot of movable cells that can be flipped to further reduce the total wirelength, without affecting the original placement solution. We aim at solv...
