Information extraction is one of the most important techniques used in Text Mining. One of the main problems in building information extraction (IE) systems is that the knowledge ...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
Computational vision algorithms are often developed in a Bayesian framework. Two estimators are commonly used: maximum a posteriori (MAP), and minimum mean squared error (MMSE). W...
Minimalism pursues the following agenda: For a given robotics task, nd the minimal con guration of resources required to solve the task. Thus, minimalism attempts to reduce the re...
