Abstract-- Classification hierarchies are trees where links codify the fact that a node lower in the hierarchy contains documents whose contents are more specific than those one le...
The sounds generated by a writing instrument provide a rich and under-utilized source of information for pattern recognition. We examine the feasibility of recognition of handwrit...
In the classic multi-armed bandits problem, the goal is to have a policy for dynamically operating arms that each yield stochastic rewards with unknown means. The key metric of int...
We consider a quadratic programming (QP) problem (Π) of the form min xT Cx subject to Ax ≥ b where C ∈ Rn×n + , rank(C) = 1 and A ∈ Rm×n , b ∈ Rm . We present an FPTAS ...
A new method of reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) tubular structures from cone-beam projections is proposed in this paper. Minimal path method is applied to detect 2D tubular ...
