We consider a portfolio allocation problem where the objective function is a tail event such as probability of large portfolio losses. The dependence between assets is captured th...
This paper addresses the problem of object detection and recognition in complex scenes, where objects are partially occluded. The approach presented herein is based on the hypothe...
Hidden Markov models have become the preferred technique for visual recognition of human gestures. However, the recognition rate depends on the set of visual features used, and al...
It is well known that the performance of a parallel discreteevent simulation (PDES) depends on the allocation of the workload to processors. In particular, poor performance may be...
The bag-of-words approach has become increasingly attractive in the fields of object category recognition and scene classification, witnessed by some successful applications [5, 7...
