This paper describes an improved boosting algorithm, the MutualBoost algorithm, and its application in developing a fast and robust Gabor feature based face recognition system. Th...
Near regular textures are pervasive in man-made and natural world. Their global regularity and local randomness pose new difficulties to the state of the art texture analysis and ...

Recently, the wide deployment of practical face recognition systems gives rise to the emergence of the inter-modality face recognition problem. In this problem, the face images in ...
We address the problem of minimum distance localization in environments that may contain self-similarities. A mobile robot is placed at an unknown location inside a ¢¤£ self-sim...
A novel native stochastic local search algorithm for solving k-term DNF problems is presented. It is evaluated on hard k-term DNF problems that lie on the phase transition and com...
