We develop a framework for the image segmentation problem based on a new graph-theoretic formulation of clustering. The approach is motivated by the analogies between the intuitiv...
Clothing is one of the most informative cues of human appearance. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-person clothing segmentation algorithm for highly occluded images. The ke...
Peer data management systems (PDMS) offer a flexible architecture for decentralized data sharing. In a PDMS, every peer is associated with a schema that represents the peer's...
We prove and extend a conjecture of Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos (KKT) on the spread of influence in social networks. A social network can be represented by a directed graph where...
— In this paper, we present a distributed computing framework designed to support higher quality of service and fault tolerance for processing deadline-driven tasks in a P2P envi...
