While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
Hand tracking is a challenging problem due to the complexity of searching in a 20+ degrees of freedom (DOF) space for an optimal estimation of hand configuration. This paper repres...
Iterative shrinkage of sparse and redundant representations are at the heart of many state of the art denoising and deconvolution algorithms. They assume the signal is well approx...
As a new branch of biometrics, palmprint authentication has attracted increasing amount of attention because palmprints are abundant of line features so that low resolution images...
The problem of reinforcement learning in large factored Markov decision processes is explored. The Q-value of a state-action pair is approximated by the free energy of a product o...
