Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
This paper presents a framework for implicit deformable models and a pair of new algorithms for solving the nonlinear partial di erential equations that result from this framework...
We analyze a separation procedure for Mixed-Integer Programs related to the work of Gomory and Johnson on interpolated subadditive functions. This approach has its roots in the Go...
Let C be a class of probability distributions over a finite set . A function D : {0, 1}m is a disperser for C with entropy threshold k and error if for any distribution X in C s...
—In this paper, we propose a new method for three dimensional rotation-free recognition of characters in scene. In the proposed method, we employ the Modified Quadratic Discrimi...
