—The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 have drawn attention to the use of wireless technology in order to locate survivors of structural collapse. We propose to construct a...
Estimating the result size of a join is an important query optimization problem as it determines the choice of a good query evaluation strategy. Yet, there are few efficient techni...
We consider the problem of multiple kernel learning (MKL), which can be formulated as a convex-concave problem. In the past, two efficient methods, i.e., Semi-Infinite Linear Prog...
This paper presents an efficient solution technique for the steady-state analysis of the second-order Stochastic Fluid Model underlying a second-order Fluid Stochastic Petri Net (...
This paper presents a new photometric stereo method aiming to efficiently estimate BRDF and reconstruct glossy surfaces. Rough specular surfaces exhibit wide specular lobes under ...
