In this paper, we address the problem of video object segmentation, which is to automatically identify the primary object and segment the object out in every frame. We propose a n...
Geometric shortest paths are a major topic in computational geometry; see the survey paper by Mitchell [12]. A shortest path between two points in a simple polygon can be found in...
Inspired by our past manual aspect mining experiences, this paper describes a random walk model to approximate how crosscutting concerns can be discovered in the absence of domain...
Many kernel learning methods have to assume parametric forms for the target kernel functions, which significantly limits the capability of kernels in fitting diverse patterns. Som...
