Lifting can greatly reduce the cost of inference on firstorder probabilistic graphical models, but constructing the lifted network can itself be quite costly. In online applicatio...
Virtual Actors are at the heart of Interactive Storytelling systems and in recent years multiple approaches have been described to specify their autonomous behaviour. One well kno...
A novel algorithm for robustly segmenting changes between different images of a scene is presented. This computationally efficient algorithm is based on a non-linear comparison of...
Zerotree coding based on the wavelet transform is a very effective image compression technique. Since it exploits the dyadic multiresolution characteristic of wavelet transform, h...
Conventional clustering techniques provide a static snapshot of each vector's commitment to every group. With additive datasets, however, existing methods may not be sufficie...
