Given a set of n points P = {p1, p2, . . . , pn} in the plane, we show how to preprocess P such that for any query line segment L we can report in O(log n) time the smallest enclo...
We present a new propagator achieving bound consistency for the INTER-DISTANCE constraint. This constraint ensures that, among a set of variables X1, . . . , Xn, the difference be...
The linear gating classifier (stem network) of the large scale model CombNET-II has been always the limiting factor which restricts the number of the expert classifiers (branch net...
In some environments, a learning agent must learn to balance competing objectives. For example, a Q-learner agent may need to learn which choices expose the agent to risk and whic...
This paper describes a new technique for free-form object segmentation from a single arbitrary-viewed range image. The aim is to derive a surface description of objects that may va...
