A scheme to specify planar C2 Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) quintic spline curves by control polygons is proposed, in which the “ordinary” C2 cubic B-spline curve serves as a ref...

A nonparametric estimator of density gradient, the mean shift, is employed in the joint, spatial-range (value) domain of gray level and color images for discontinuity preserving l...
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...
Gradient Boosted Regression Trees (GBRT) are the current state-of-the-art learning paradigm for machine learned websearch ranking — a domain notorious for very large data sets. ...
