The best approximation algorithm for Max Cut in graphs of maximum degree 3 uses semidefinite programming, has approximation ratio 0.9326, and its running time is (n3.5 log n) ; bu...
Fast retrieval of time series in terms of their contents is important in many application domains. This paper studies database techniques supporting fast searches for time series ...
This paper presents a spatiotemporal pyramid representation for recognizing facial expressions and hand gestures. This approach works by partitioning video sequence into increasin...
We describe the use of compact support radial basis functions (CSRBFs) for simulation of soft tissue deformation. CSRBFs allow surface and volumetric deformations to be computed i...

The earth mover's distance (EMD) [16] is an important perceptually meaningful metric for comparing histograms, but it suffers from high (O(N3 log N)) computational complexity...
