A new data hiding method using angle quantization index modulation in gradient domain
A robust data hiding scheme that embeds the watermark bits by quantizing the gradient directions of an image is proposed. By embedding the watermark in the angle, the watermark be...

Convergence and convergence rate of stochastic gradient search in the case of multiple and non-isolated extrema
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...

First- and Second-Order Expectation Semirings with Applications to Minimum-Risk Training on Translation Forests
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
