A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the pose of an object in an image. The technique does not require information about the surface properties of the ob...
We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...
Sensor networks not only have the potential to change the way we use, interact with, and view computers, but also the way we use, interact with, and view the world around us. In o...

Abstract Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. A...
Given a set of rectangles we are asked to pack as many of them as possible into a bigger rectangle. The rectangles packed may not overlap and may not be rotated. This problem is NP...
