Object-Based Image Retrieval Using the Statistical Structure of Images
We propose a new Bayesian approach to object-based image retrieval with relevance feedback. Although estimating the object posterior probability density from few examples seems in...

Rate-coded Restricted Boltzmann Machines for Face Recognition
We describe a neurally-inspired, unsupervised learning algorithm that builds a non-linear generative model for pairs of face images from the same individual. Individuals are then ...

Speculative prefetching of optional locks in distributed systems
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...

Brief announcement: tree decomposition for faster concurrent data structures
We show how to partition data structures representable by directed acyclic graphs, i.e. rooted trees, to allow for efficient complex operations, which lie beyond inserts, deletes ...
