Following the exponential growth of social media, there now exist huge repositories of videos online. Among the huge volumes of videos, there exist large numbers of near-duplicate...
In many task-planning domains, dynamic assemblies of autonomous agents are replacing hierarchical organisations because they promise more agility. In such assemblies, interdepende...
