Estimating the number of distinct values is a wellstudied problem, due to its frequent occurrence in queries and its importance in selecting good query plans. Previous work has sh...
In this paper, we address the tasks of detecting, segmenting, parsing, and matching deformable objects. We use a novel probabilistic object model that we call a hierarchical defor...
Bayesian Kullback Ying—Yang dependence reduction system and theory is presented. Via stochastic approximation, implementable algorithms and criteria are given for parameter lear...
