Shared Sampling for Real-Time Alpha Matting
Image matting aims at extracting foreground elements from an image by means of color and opacity (alpha) estimation. While a lot of progress has been made in recent years on impro...

An optimal-time algorithm for shortest paths on a convex polytope in three dimensions
We present an optimal-time algorithm for computing (an implicit representation of) the shortest-path map from a fixed source s on the surface of a convex polytope P in three dime...

Using Automatically Transcribed Dialogs to Learn User Models in a Spoken Dialog System
We use an EM algorithm to learn user models in a spoken dialog system. Our method requires automatically transcribed (with ASR) dialog corpora, plus a model of transcription error...
