We consider the problem of indexing high-dimensional data for answering (approximate) similarity-search queries. Similarity indexes prove to be important in a wide variety of sett...
We present a novel algorithm for agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on evaluating marginal likelihoods of a probabilistic model. This algorithm has several advantages ove...
We formulate a model for probability distributions on image spaces. We show that any distribution of images can be factored exactly into conditional distributions of feature vecto...
Word processing software, email, and spreadsheet have revolutionized office activities. There are many other office tasks that are amenable to automation, such as: scheduling a vi...
In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling independent identical tasks on heterogeneous processors where communication times and processing times are different. We assum...
