In urban areas, buildings are often used as landmarks for localization. Reliable and efficient recognition of buildings is crucial for enabling this functionality. Motivated by t...
We present a new algorithm for a robust family of Earth Mover’s Distances - EMDs with thresholded ground distances. The algorithm transforms the flow-network of the EMD so that t...
Moment matching is a popular means of parametric density estimation. We extend this technique to nonparametric estimation of mixture models. Our approach works by embedding distri...
This paper investigates basic research issues that need to be addressed for developing an architecture that enables repurposing of learning objects in a flexible way. Currently, t...
