This paper presents a new spatial-HMM(SHMM)for automatically classifying and annotating natural images. Our model is a 2D generalization of the traditional HMM in the sense that b...
The increasing prominence of portable systems and the need to limit power consumption and hence, heat dissipation in very high density VLSI chips have led to rapid and innovative ...
Abstract. This paper describes e cient protocols for multi-party computations that are information-theoretically secure against passive attacks. The results presented here apply to...
We introduce some generalizations of a nice combinatorial problem, the central notion of which is the so-called Disease Process. Let us color independently each square of an n×n c...
In this paper we present a general framework for the comparison of intervals when preference relations have to established. The use of intervals in order to take into account impr...
