We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
Estimates of predicate selectivities by database query optimizers often differ significantly from those actually encountered during query execution, leading to poor plan choices a...
A new mapping algorithm for speech recognition relates the features of simultaneous recordings of clean and noisy speech. The model is a piecewise nonfinear transformation appfied...
In many applications, one has to actively select among a set of expensive observations before making an informed decision. Often, we want to select observations which perform well...

We propose a novel algorithm for the identification of faces from image samples. The algorithm uses the Kalman filter to identify significant face features. We employ the Kalmanfa...
