We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
In this paper, we propose an efficient mechanism dealing with trust assessment for agent societies, aiming to accurately assess the trustworthiness of the collaborating agents. I...
This paper presents Limone, a new coordination model that facilitates rapid application development over ad hoc networks consisting of logically mobile agents and physically mobile...
In the heart of the computer model of visual attention, an interest or saliency map is derived from an input image in a process that encompasses several data combination steps. Whi...
It is well-known that the time and memory necessary to create a codebook from large training databases have hindered the vector quantization based systems for real applications. T...
