In this paper we present a theorem for defining fixed-points in categories of sheaves. This result gives a unifying and general account of most techniques used in computer science ...
Abstract. This paper extends previously proposed bound propagation algorithm [11] for computing lower and upper bounds on posterior marginals in Bayesian networks. We improve the b...
Based on a systematic study of the semantics of temporal attributes of entities, this paper provides new guidelines for the design of temporal relational databases. The notions of ...
We develop the notion of normalized information distance (NID) [7] into a kernel distance suitable for use with a Support Vector Machine classifier, and demonstrate its use for an...
Abstract. We present in this paper robust geometric feature estimators on the border of a possibly noisy discrete object. We introduce the notion of patch centered at a point of th...
