This paper presents a new approach for video clip retrieval based on Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD). Instead of imposing one-to-one matching constraint as in [11, 14], our approach...
We suggest a general paradigm of using large-scale distributed computation to solve difficult problems, but where humans can act as agents and provide candidate solutions. We are e...

Estimation of inhomogeneous vectors is well-studied in estimation theory. For instance, given covariance matrices of input data allow to compute optimal estimates and characterize...
This article argues for the growing importance of quality metadata and the equation of that quality with precision and semantic grounding. Such semantic grounding requires metadat...
We present a method to solve the human silhouette tracking problem using 18 major human points. We used: a simple 2D model for the human silhouette, a linear prediction technique f...
