We address the problem of inferring homogeneous reflectance (BRDF) from a single image of a known shape in an unknown real-world lighting environment. With appropriate representati...
In this paper we study the convergence properties of the power series algorithm, which is a general method to determine (functions of) stationary distributions of Markov chains. W...
Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) tasks are evaluated using a cost function. The standard TDT cost function assumes a constant probability of relevance P(rel) across all topics. ...
We present CRF-Gradient, a self-healing gradient algorithm that provably reconfigures in O(diameter) time. Selfhealing gradients are a frequently used building block for distribut...

Music is a form of expression. Since machines have limited capabilities in this sense, our main goal is to model musical composition process, to allow machines to express themselve...
