Height fields and depth maps which we collectively refer to as z-fields, usually carry a lot of redundant information and are often used in real-time applications. This is the rea...
The immense computational and adaptive power of the cerebral cortex emerges from the collective dynamics of large populations of interacting neurons. Thus, for theoretical investi...
Background: With the rapid expansion of DNA sequencing databases, it is now feasible to identify relevant information from prior sequencing projects and completed genomes and appl...
We study graphical modeling in the case of stringvalued random variables. Whereas a weighted finite-state transducer can model the probabilistic relationship between two strings, ...
Common approaches to creating playlists are to randomly shuffle a collection (e.g. iPod shuffle) or manually select songs. In this paper we present and evaluate heuristics to ad...
