The top web search result is crucial for user satisfaction with the web search experience. We argue that the importance of the relevance at the top position necessitates special h...
This paper introduces three new contributions to the problems of image classification and image search. First, we propose a new image patch quantization algorithm. Other competitiv...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
Recent research in multi-robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental fields, which are typically modeled using the Gaussian process (GP). Existing informa...
Density modeling is notoriously difficult for high dimensional data. One approach to the problem is to search for a lower dimensional manifold which captures the main characteristi...
