We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
We study the problem of enabling general 2D and 3D variational constraint representation to be used in conjunction with a feature hierarchy representation, where some of the featu...

A general framework based on Gaussian models and a MAPEM algorithm is introduced in this paper for solving matrix/table completion problems. The numerical experiments with the sta...
Abstract. This paper solves a static and transportation facility location allocation problem defined as follows: given a set of locations Loc and a set of demand objects D located ...
All pairs similarity search is the problem of finding all pairs of records that have a similarity score above the specified threshold. Many real-world systems like search engine...
