A "plan diagram" is a pictorial enumeration of the execution plan choices of a database query optimizer over the relational selectivity space. We have shown recently tha...
Nearest neighbour classifiers and related kernel methods often perform poorly in high dimensional problems because it is infeasible to include enough training samples to cover the...
We address the classic problems of detection, segmenta-
tion and pose estimation of people in images with a novel
definition of a part, a poselet. We postulate two criteria

Point estimates of the parameters in real world models convey valuable information about the actual system. However, parameter comparisons and/or statistical inference requires de...
In Sequential Viterbi Models, such as HMMs, MEMMs, and Linear Chain CRFs, the type of patterns over output sequences that can be learned by the model depend directly on the modelâ...
