— an efficient rate-distortion (R-D) optimal method for transcoding hierarchical B-pictures is proposed in this paper. A new R-D model is presented for fast transcoding hierarchi...
Tree-structured probabilistic models admit simple, fast inference. However, they are not well suited to phenomena such as occlusion, where multiple components of an object may dis...
Abstract. Telugu is the third most spoken language in India and one of the fifteen most spoken languages in the world. But, there is no standardized input method for Telugu, which ...
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...
Motion planning for mobile agents, such as robots, acting in the physical world is a challenging task, which traditionally concerns safe obstacle avoidance. We are interested in p...
