Formal approaches to the design of interactive systems rely on reasoning about properties of the t a very high level of abstraction. Specifications to support such an approach typi...
The standard way of lifting a binary relation, R, from closed terms of an algebra to open terms is to de ne its closed-instance extension, Rci, which holds for a given pair of ope...
Multiply sectioned Bayesian networks (MSBNs) provide a coherent and flexible formalism for representing uncertain knowledge in large domains. Global consistency among subnets in a...
This paper presents a general, trainable system for object detection in unconstrained, cluttered scenes. The system derives much of its power from a representation that describes a...
