Inverted files are widely used to index documents in large-scale information retrieval systems. An inverted file consists of posting lists, which can be stored in either a documen...
We consider a hierarchy of modal event calculi to represent and reason about partially ordered events. These calculi are based on the model of time and change of Kowalski and Sergo...
This paper presents an efficient and homogeneous paradigm for automatic acquisition and recognition of nonparametric shapes. Acquisition time varies from linear to cubic in the nu...
