Head pose estimation is an important task for many face analysis applications, such as face recognition systems and human computer interactions. In this paper we aim to address the...
The implementation of software systems with large numbers of heterogeneous components calls for a powerful design methodology. Although several such methodologies have been propos...
We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
In this paper, we propose a novel speaker adaptation technique, regularized-MLLR, for Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) systems. This method uses a linear combination of ...
