Deadlock-free resource allocation has been an active area of research in flexible manufacturing. Most researchers have assumed that allocated resources do not fail, and thus, littl...
Recently, boosting has come to be used widely in object-detection applications because of its impressive performance in both speed and accuracy. However, learning weak classifier...
High-dimensional data usually incur learning deficiencies and computational difficulties. We present a novel semi-supervised dimensionality reduction technique that embeds high-dim...
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
Most face recognition systems only work well under quite constrained environments. In particular, the illumination conditions, facial expressions and head pose must be tightly con...
