In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
We explore automated discovery of topicallycoherent segments in speech or text sequences. We give two new discriminative topic segmentation algorithms which employ a new measure o...
In this paper, an efficient global algorithm for vectorizing line drawings is presented. It first extracts a seed segment of a graphic entity from a raster image to obtain its dir...

A novel local threshold algorithm for images with poor illumination and complex texture surface is presented in this paper. This algorithm improves segmentation quality by selecti...
