Boosting algorithms build highly accurate prediction mechanisms from a collection of lowaccuracy predictors. To do so, they employ the notion of weak-learnability. The starting po...
Abstract: Social virtual worlds such as Second Life are digital representations of the real world where human-controlled avatars evolve and interact through social activities. Unde...
This article presents a rational model developed under the distributed cognition framework that explains how social tags influence knowledge acquisition and adaptation in explorat...
This paper presents a novel strategy improvement algorithm for parity and payoff games, which is guaranteed to select, in each improvement step, an optimal combination of local str...
This paper presents a novel integrated background model for video surveillance. Our model uses a primal sketch representation for image appearance and 3D scene geometry to capture...
