According to Strachey, a polymorphic program is parametric if it applies a uniform algorithm independently of the type instantiations at which it is applied. The notion of relatio...
Offline handwriting recognition--the transcription of images of handwritten text--is an interesting task, in that it combines computer vision with sequence learning. In most syste...
The Gaussian mixture model is a powerful statistical tool in data modeling and analysis. Generally, the EM algorithm is utilized to learn the parameters of the Gaussian mixture. Ho...
Active shape models are a powerful and widely used tool to interpret complex image data. By building models of shape variation they enable search algorithms to use a priori knowle...
An important issue in data integration is the integration of semantically equivalent but schematically heterogeneous data sources. Declarative mechanisms supporting powerful source...
