Coarse-to-fine approaches use sequences of increasingly fine approximations to control the complexity of inference and learning. These techniques are often used in NLP and visio...
—We present Nswap2L, a fast backing storage system for general purpose clusters. Nswap2L implements a single device interface on top of multiple heterogeneous physical storage de...
We present new training methods that aim to mitigate local optima and slow convergence in unsupervised training by using additional imperfect objectives. In its simplest form, lat...

— This paper describes a lexicon-driven approach to on-line handwritten Japanese disease name recognition using a time-synchronous method. A trie lexicon is constructed from a di...
Robust tracking of abrupt motion is a challenging task
in computer vision due to the large motion uncertainty. In
this paper, we propose a stochastic approximation Monte
