We present a refinement and a coarsening (also simplification or decimation) algorithm for the adaptive representation of bivariate functions. The algorithms have proved to be eff...
MIME (Mime Is Manual Expression) is a computationally efficient computer vision system for recognizing hand gestures. The system is intended to replace the mouse interface on a st...
We present new algorithms for local planning over Markov decision processes. The base-level algorithm possesses several interesting features for control of computation, based on s...
Knowledge-based applications are characterized by their use of machine-understandable formalizations of expert knowledge. Complex knowledge structures, and the features which explo...
Collaborative web applications such as Facebook, Flickr and Yelp present new challenges for storing and querying large amounts of data. As users and developers are focused more on...
