In this paper we unify two supposedly distinct tasks in multimedia retrieval. One task involves answering queries with a few examples. The other involves learning models for seman...
Abstract—In this paper we study the problem of evaluating the reconstruction distortion in the wavelet domain when adaptive lifting schemes (ALS) are used for the direct and inve...
Image inpainting techniques have been widely investigated to remove undesired objects in an image. Conventionally, missing parts in an image are completed by optimizing the objecti...
We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
This paper describes a scalable parallel marking technique for garbage collection that does not employ any synchronization operation. To achieve good scalability, two major design...
