We solve the open problem of the decidability of Boolean BI logic (BBI), which can be considered as the core of separation and spatial logics. For this, we define a complete phas...
Courcelle's famous theorem from 1990 states that any property of graphs definable in monadic second-order logic (MSO2) can be decided in linear time on any class of graphs of ...
A new framework is presented that uses tools from duality theory of linear programming to derive graph-cut based combinatorial algorithms for approximating NP-hard classification ...
This paper presents a method to speed up support vector classification, especially important when data is highdimensional. Unlike previous approaches which focus on less support v...
In content based image retrieval, the success of any distance-based indexing scheme depends critically on the quality of the chosen distance metric. We propose in this paper a ker...
