Delivering digitally a realistic appearance of materials is one of the most difficult tasks of computer vision. Accurate representation of surface texture can be obtained by means ...
Structured output prediction is an important machine learning problem both in theory and practice, and the max-margin Markov network (M3 N) is an effective approach. All state-of-...
We consider the problem of finding the best arm in a stochastic multi-armed bandit game. The regret of a forecaster is here defined by the gap between the mean reward of the optim...
Oblivious transfer is a fundamental primitive in cryptography. While perfect information theoretic security is impossible, quantum oblivious transfer protocols can limit the disho...
Reconstructing the 3D shape of human faces is an intensively researched topic. Most approaches aim at generating a closed surface representation of geometry, i.e. a mesh, which is...
