We employ 3D arrangements of curves to represent and analyze biological shapes, in particular, the anatomy of the human brain. The arrangements of curves may vary from fairly spar...

Using a saliency measure based on the global property of contour closure, we have developed a method that reliably segments out salient contours bounding unknown objects from real...

To effectively support today's global economy, database systems need to manage data in multiple languages simultaneously. While current database systems do support the storag...
We consider the problem of joining massive datasets. We propose two techniques for minimizing disk I/O cost of join operations for both spatial and sequence data. Our techniques o...
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...
