The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
The growing complexity of modern processors has made the development of highly efficient code increasingly difficult. Manually developing highly efficient code is usually expen...
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

We describe an algorithm for the analysis of color images of basins which gather dirty water, with the objective of detecting and estimate the presence of exceeding combustible oi...
Mixtures of Gaussians are a crucial statistical modeling tool at the heart of many challenging applications in computer vision and machine learning. In this paper, we first descri...
