We introduce a stochastic grammatical channel model for machine translation, that synthesizes several desirable characteristics of both statistical and grammatical machine transla...
We propose a new algorithm for simultaneous localization and figure-ground segmentation where coupled region-edge shape priors are involved with two different but complementary ...
Abstract--We propose an approach to accurately detecting twodimensional (2-D) shapes. The cross section of the shape boundary is modeled as a step function. We first derive a one-d...
This paper introduces a uniform statistical framework for both 3-D and 2-D object recognition using intensity images as input data. The theoretical part provides a mathematical too...
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
