For stationary or quasi-stationary frames of a video sequence, traditional block matching algorithms (BMA) will easily lead the search to be trapped into a local minimum. In this ...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling concurrent jobs on clusters where application data is stored on the computing nodes. This setting, in which scheduling computations ...

Abstract-We describe Localization-Space Trails (LOST), a method that enables a team of robots to navigate between places of interest in an initially unknown environment using a tra...
In this paper we propose a new information-theoretic divisive algorithm for word clustering applied to text classification. In previous work, such "distributional clustering&...
