We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
A global barrier synchronizes all processors in a parallel system. This paper investigates algorithms that allow disjoint subsets of processors to synchronize independently and in...

Herein, we propose a new Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features. The model has a multi-layer structure: Each feature...
An interactive human segmentation approach is described. Given regions of interest provided by users, the approach iteratively estimates segmentation via a generalized EM algorith...

In this paper, we propose a novel interface for controlling crowd animation. Crowd animation is widely used in movie production and computer games. However, to make an intended cro...
