Stratified Reservoir Sampling over Heterogeneous Data Streams
Reservoir sampling is a well-known technique for random sampling over data streams. In many streaming applications, however, an input stream may be naturally heterogeneous, i.e., c...

Iterative layering: Optimizing arithmetic circuits by structuring the information flow
Current logic synthesis techniques are ineffective for arithmetic circuits. They perform poorly for XOR-dominated circuits, and those with a high fan-in dependency between inputs ...

A Multi-Hypothesis Approach for Off-Line Signature Verification with HMMs
In this paper, an approach based on the combination of discrete Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) in the ROC space is proposed to improve the performance of off-line signature verificat...

A Global Sampling Method for Alpha Matting
Alpha matting refers to the problem of softly extracting the foreground from an image. Given a trimap (specifying known foreground/background and unknown pixels), a straightforwar...

Human Pose Estimation Using Exemplars and Part Based Refinement
In this paper, we proposed a fast and accurate human pose estimation framework that combines top-down and bottom-up methods. The framework consists of an initialization stage and a...
