Although theoretical results for several algorithms in many application domains were presented during the last decades, not all algorithms can be analyzed fully theoretically. Exp...
Abstract. Search engines often employ techniques for determining syntactic similarity of Web pages. Such a tool allows them to avoid returning multiple copies of essentially the sa...
We develop a variant of the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex search procedure for stochastic simulation optimization that is designed to avoid many of the weaknesses encumbering such dire...
Exponentially growing photo collections motivate the needs for automatic image annotation for effective manipulations (e.g., search, browsing). Most of the prior works rely on sup...
We propose a novel method of robustly and automatically creating surface meshes from the very sparsely populated 3D point clouds typically produced by Structure from Motion algori...
