We consider the problem of image segmentation using active contours through the minimization of an energy criterion involving both region and boundary functionals. These functiona...
This paper presents a theoretically very simple yet efficient approach for gray scale and rotation invariant texture classification based on local binary patterns and nonparametric...
We present MiniCount, the first efficient sound and complete algorithm for finding maximally contained rewritings of conjunctive queries with count, using conjunctive views with c...
This paper is concerned with the generalization ability of learning to rank algorithms for information retrieval (IR). We point out that the key for addressing the learning proble...
