We propose two new online methods for estimating the size of a backtracking search tree. The first method is based on a weighted sample of the branches visited by chronological ba...
In this paper we address the problem of human body pose estimation from still images. A multi-view set of images of a person sitting at a table is acquired and the pose estimated....
This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
Distributed search systems are an emerging phenomenon in Web search, in which independent topic-specific search engines provide search services, and metasearchers distribute user...
A top-N selection query against a relation is to find the N tuples that satisfy the query condition the best but not necessarily completely. In this paper, we propose a new method ...
