This paper discusses a novel and effective technique for extracting multiple ellipses from an image, using a Multi-Population Genetic Algorithm (MPGA). MPGA evolves a number of su...
Collaborative filtering (CF) techniques are becoming increasingly popular with the evolution of the Internet. Such techniques recommend products to customers using similar users...
Abstract. In this paper we present a randomized constant factor approximation algorithm for the problem of computing the optimal cost of the metric Minimum Facility Location proble...

We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
We introduce a novel data-driven mean-shift belief propagation
(DDMSBP) method for non-Gaussian MRFs, which
often arise in computer vision applications. With the aid
of scale sp...
