UOBYQA is a new algorithm for general unconstrained optimization calculations, that takes account of the curvature of the objective function, F say, by forming quadratic models by ...
This paper presents a multi-scale generative model for representing animate shapes and extracting meaningful parts of objects. The model assumes that animate shapes (2D simple clo...
Query processing in traditional information management systems has moved from an exact match model to more flexible paradigms allowing cooperative retrieval by aggregating the dat...
