In this work a cooperative, bid-based, model for problem decomposition is proposed with application to discrete action domains such as classification. This represents a significan...
We propose an unsupervised image segmentation method based on texton similarity and mode seeking. The input image is first convolved with a filter-bank, followed by soft cluster...
This paper shares our experience in designing a web crawler that can download billions of pages using a single-server implementation and models its performance. We show that with ...
