We address the task of segmenting sequential data using convex optimization problem, which is specifically designed to work in the context of outliers in the data. We propose two...
Current manifold alignment methods can effectively align data sets that are drawn from a non-intersecting set of manifolds. However, as data sets become increasingly high-dimensio...

Many scenarios require that robots work together as a team in order to effectively accomplish their tasks. However, precoordinating these teams may not always be possible given th...
In emergency medical systems, arriving at the incident location a few seconds early can save a human life. Thus, this paper is motivated by the need to reduce the response time ...
In many applications, training data is provided in the form of related datasets obtained from several sources, which typically affects the sample distribution. The learned classi...
