I/O is a major performance bottleneck in modern computer systems. Modern disks use the Zone-Bit-Recording (ZBR) technology to increase the capacity. A direct consequence of ZBR is...
In a seminal paper, Amari (1998) proved that learning can be made more efficient when one uses the intrinsic Riemannian structure of the algorithms' spaces of parameters to po...
In this paper, a face pose estimation method and its application in video shot selection for face image preprocessing is introduced. The pose estimator is learned by a boosting re...

The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...
This paper proposes a new approach to phrase rescoring for statistical machine translation (SMT). A set of novel features capturing the translingual equivalence between a source a...
