This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
The Extended Baum-Welch (EBW) Transformations is one of a variety of techniques to estimate parameters of Gaussian mixture models. In this paper, we provide a theoretical framewor...

Many algorithms for grammatical inference can be viewed as instances of a more general algorithm which maintains a set of primitive elements, which distributionally define sets of ...
Spherical microphone arrays provide a flexible solution to obtaining higher-order directivity patterns, which are useful in audio recording and reproduction. A general systematic...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
