Maximal word functions occur in data retrieval applications and have connections with ranking problems, which in turn were rst investigated in relation to data compression 21 . By ...
Sparse matrix-vector multiplication forms the heart of iterative linear solvers used widely in scientific computations (e.g., finite element methods). In such solvers, the matrix-v...
A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...
Discriminatory information about person identity is multimodal. Yet, most person recognition systems are unimodal, e.g. the use of facial appearance. With a view to exploiting the ...
