We generalize the notion of non-crossing partition on a disk to general surfaces with boundary. For this, we consider a surface Σ and introduce the number CΣ(n) of noncrossing pa...
We analyse the contribution of higher-level elements of the linguistic specification of a data-driven speech synthesiser to the naturalness of the synthetic speech which it genera...
Abstract. Image segmentation using graph cuts have become very popular in the last years. These methods are computationally expensive, even with hard constraints (seed pixels). We ...
Abstract. An iterative procedure for numerical conformal mapping is presented which imposes no restriction on the boundary complexity. The formulation involves two analytically equ...
Local pattern mining algorithms generate sets of patterns, which are typically not directly useful and have to be further processed before actual application or interpretation. Ra...
