Context-awareness is an important capability needed in devices in a ubiquitous computing environment. Ubiquitous computing devices use different types of sensors along with the us...
Joins are essential for many data analysis tasks, but are not supported directly by the MapReduce paradigm. While there has been progress on equi-joins, implementation of join alg...
Time-oriented progress estimation for parallel queries is a challenging problem that has received only limited attention. In this paper, we present ParaTimer, a new type of timere...
Automatically determining facial similarity is a difficult and open question in computer vision. The problem is complicated both because it is unclear what facial features humans ...
We present a finite element modeling based approach to compute strain patterns caused by facial deformation during expressions in videos. A sparse motion field computed through ...
