In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model for active contour image segmentation, which is able to segment non-uniform noisy images efficiently. The model is a combination betwe...
— Ultrasound images segmentation is a difficult problem due to speckle noise, low contrast and local changes of intensity. Intensity based methods do not perform particularly we...

A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
We describe a new boosting algorithm which generates only smooth distributions which do not assign too much weight to any single example. We show that this new boosting algorithm ...
Presented in this paper are 1) information-theoretic lower bounds on energy consumption of noisy digital gates and 2) the concept of noise tolerance via coding for achieving energy...
