This paper describes a technique for the representation of the 2D frontal view of faces, based on Catmull-Rom splines. It takes advantage of the a priori knowledge about the face s...
Recommender systems are an important component of many websites. Two of the most popular approaches are based on matrix factorization (MF) and Markov chains (MC). MF methods learn...

This paper presents an approximation method for numerically solving general Markov modulated fluid models which are widely used in modelling communications and computer systems. ...
Markov Networks (also known as Markov Random Fields) have been proposed as a new approach to probabilistic modelling in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs). An EDA employ...
