We introduce novel, sound, complete, and locally optimal evaluation strategies for functional logic programming languages. Our strategies combine, in a non-trivial way, two landma...
Abstract--This paper proposes a parallel hardware architecture for image feature detection based on the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm and applied to the SLAM (...

High–dimensional optimization problems appear very often in demanding applications. Although evolutionary algorithms constitute a valuable tool for solving such problems, their ...
We propose a subspace learning algorithm for face recognition by directly optimizing recognition performance scores. Our approach is motivated by the following observations: 1) Di...
We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of r...
