Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
Abstract. We present a framework for vision-assisted tagging of personal photo collections using context. Whereas previous efforts mainly focus on tagging people, we develop a uni...
This paper presents our work on the static task scheduling model using the mean-field annealing (MFA) technique. Mean-field annealing is a technique of thermostatic annealing that...
We present HSAN - a hybrid storage area network, which uses both in-band (like NFS [13]) and out-of-band virtualization (like SAN FS [10]) access models. HSAN uses hybrid servers ...
In this paper we examine a novel approach to the difficult problem of querying video databases using visual topics with few examples. Typically with visual topics, the examples a...
