Minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to constraints is a challenging problem that arises in many applications in control theory, machine learning, and discrete geometry. This c...
We study a class of overrelaxed bound optimization algorithms, and their relationship to standard bound optimizers, such as ExpectationMaximization, Iterative Scaling, CCCP and No...
PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain depending on a damping factor that spreads uniformly part of the rank. The choice of is eminently empirical, and in...

In this paper, we present an efficient system for action recognition from very short sequences. For action recognition typically appearance and/or motion information of an action ...
