Illumination Modeling and Normalization for Face Recognition
In this paper, we present a general framework for face modeling under varying lighting conditions. First, we show that a face lighting subspace can be constructed based on three o...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...
