Helper locks allow programs with large parallel critical sections, called parallel regions, to execute more efficiently by enlisting processors that might otherwise be waiting on ...
When deploying a heterogeneous camera network or when we use cheap zoom cameras like in cell-phones, it is not practical, if not impossible to off-line calibrate the radial distor...
Nearest neighbor (NN) search in high dimensional feature space is widely used for similarity retrieval of multimedia information. However, recent research results in the database ...
The nearest neighbor (NN) rule is a simple and intuitive method for solving classification problems. Originally, it uses distances to the complete training set. It performs well, ...
Beam search is used to maintain tractability in large search spaces at the expense of completeness and optimality. We study supervised learning of linear ranking functions for con...
