We introduce a new method that characterizes typical local image features (e.g., SIFT [9], phase feature [3]) in terms of their distinctiveness, detectability, and robustness to i...
— Recent advances in communication networks and cryptographic techniques have made possible to consider online voting systems as a feasible alternative to conventional elections....
The automata-theoretic approach is one of the most fundamental approaches to developing decision procedures in mathematical logics. To decide whether a formula in a logic with the...
— Orthogonal Neighborhood Preserving Projections (ONPP) is a linear dimensionality reduction technique which attempts to preserve both the intrinsic neighborhood geometry of the ...
— This paper presents a new reinforcement learning algorithm for accelerating acquisition of new skills by real mobile robots, without requiring simulation. It speeds up Q-learni...
