We introduce a new method for nding several types of optimal k-point sets, minimizing perimeter, diameter, circumradius, and related measures, by testing sets of the O(k) nearest ...
The performance of Evolutionary Programming (EP) is affected by many factors (e.g. mutation operators and selection strategies). Although the conventional approach with Gaussian mu...
Desktop search is an important part of personal information management (PIM). However, research in this area has been limited by the lack of shareable test collections, making cum...
Image data is as common as textual data in this digital world. There is an urgent demand of image management tools as efficient as those text search engines. Decades of research on...
Many modern visual recognition algorithms incorporate a step of spatial `pooling', where the outputs of several nearby feature detectors are combined into a local or global `...
