We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
This paper presents an adaptive method for the skew angle estimation of noisy handwritten Arabic documents using the energy distributions of Cohen’s class. The presence of noise...
We propose using the proximity distribution of vectorquantized local feature descriptors for object and category recognition. To this end, we introduce a novel "proximity dis...
The problem of scheduling independent tasks on heterogeneous trees is considered. The nodes of the tree may have different processing times, and links different communication time...
