We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...

Finding objects like music albums or wines in large databases is an inherently difficult problem, especially if users do not know exactly what they are looking for. We propose th...
We present a framework for implementing geometric algorithms involving motion. It is written in C++ and modeled after and makes extensive use of CGAL (Computational Geometry Algor...
