Images are being produced and made available in ever increasing numbers; but how can we find images "like this one" that are of interest to us? Many different systems hav...
Image dissimilarity measure is a hot topic. The measure process is generally composed of an information mining in each image which results in an image signature and then a signatu...
The neural representation of space in rats has inspired many navigation systems for robots. In particular, Self-Organizing (Feature) Maps (SOM) are often used to give a sense of lo...
We consider the problem of choosing, sequentially, a map which assigns elements of a set A to a few elements of a set B. On each round, the algorithm suffers some cost associated ...
