A Blur-Robust Descriptor with Applications to Face Recognition
—Understanding the effect of blur is an important problem in unconstrained visual analysis. We address this problem in the context of image-based recognition, by a fusion of imag...

Quasi-Birth-Death Processes, Tree-Like QBDs, Probabilistic 1-Counter Automata, and Pushdown Systems
We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
