Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
—We provide a novel search technique which uses a hierarchical model and a mutual information gain heuristic to efficiently prune the search space when localizing faces in images...
In this paper we address the problem of identifying a broad range of term variations in Japanese web search queries, where these variations pose a particularly thorny problem due ...
The search for the optimal word sequence can be performed efficiently even in a speech recognizer with a very large vocabulary and complex models. This is achieved using pruning m...
This paper is concerned with relevance ranking in search, particularly that using term dependency information. It proposes a novel and unified approach to relevance ranking using ...
