It has been observed that even highly optimized software programs perform "redundant" computations during their execution, due to the nature (statistics) of the values a...
Trees and graphs are widely used to model biological databases. Providing efficient algorithms to support tree-based or graph-based querying is therefore an important issue. In th...
The ability to approximately answer aggregation queries accurately and efficiently is of great benefit for decision support and data mining tools. In contrast to previous sampling...
Deformable models are by their formulation able to solve surface extraction problem from noisy volumetric image data encountered commonly in medical image analysis. However, this ...
Rate distortion optimization with Lagrangian formulation is widely used in video encoder control and has proved effective in achieving a good trade-off between coding efficiency a...
