Most recent class-level object recognition systems work with visual words, i.e., vector quantized local descriptors. In this paper we examine the feasibility of a dataindependent ...
We present a simple yet effective method for modeling of object decomposition under combustion. A separate simulation models the flame production and generates heat from a combust...
Embedding images into a low dimensional space has a wide range of applications: visualization, clustering, and pre-processing for supervised learning. Traditional dimension reduct...
This paper presents the design of an interaction environment for fostering social interactions in electronic marketplaces. The environment incorporates a novel, spatially-organize...
The recent success of Internet-based computing projects, coupled with rapid developments in peer-to-peer systems, has stimulated interest in the notion of harvesting idle cycles u...
