We consider the problem of sampling URLs uniformly at random from the Web. A tool for sampling URLs uniformly can be used to estimate various properties of Web pages, such as the ...

In this paper, a Bayesian method for face recognition is proposed based on Markov Random Fields (MRF) modeling. Constraints on image features as well as contextual relationships be...
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
We present discrete stochastic mathematical models for the growth curves of synchronous and asynchronous evolutionary algorithms with populations structured according to a random ...

This paper introduces three new contributions to the problems of image classification and image search. First, we propose a new image patch quantization algorithm. Other competitiv...
