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...
Because of the high volume and unpredictable arrival rate, stream processing systems may not always be able to keep up with the input data streams-- resulting in buffer overflow a...
This paper shows that scattered range data can be smoothed at low cost by fitting a Radial Basis Function (RBF) to the data and convolving with a smoothing kernel (low pass filt...

To solve real-world discrete optimization problems approximately metaheuristics such as simulated annealing and other local search methods are commonly used. For large instances o...
Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Because of its notorious difficulties, aligning sequences within a constant band (c-diagonal) is a ...
