Evaluation of sets of oriented and non-oriented receptive fields as local descriptors
(2004-03-24)
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. We propose a performance criterion for a ...
Rotation Invariant Object Recognition from One Training Example
(2004-04-27)
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. Such a descriptor--based on a set of ...
Risk Bounds for Mixture Density Estimation
(2004-01-27)
In this paper we focus on the problem of estimating a bounded density using a finite combination of densities from a given class. We consider the Maximum Likelihood Procedure (MLE) and the greedy procedure described by ...
Systematic Conformational Search with Constraint Satisfaction
(2004-10-01)
Throughout biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical research,conformational searches are used to explore the possiblethree-dimensional configurations of molecules. This thesis describesa new systematic method for ...
Predictive identification of alternative events conserved in human and mouse
(2004-09-30)
Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing affects a majority of human genes and plays important roles in development and disease. Alternative splicing (AS) events conserved since the divergence of human and mouse are likely ...
Selectivity of Local Field Potentials in Macaque Inferior Temporal Cortex
(2004-09-21)
While single neurons in inferior temporal (IT) cortex show differential responses to distinct complex stimuli, little is known about the responses of populations of neurons in IT. We recorded single electrode data, including ...
Sharing visual features for multiclass and multiview object detection
(2004-04-14)
We consider the problem of detecting a large number of different classes of objects in cluttered scenes. Traditional approaches require applying a battery of different classifiers to the image, at multiple locations and ...
The Interval Programming Model for Multi-objective Decision Making
(2004-09-27)
The interval programming model (IvP) is a mathematical programmingmodel for representing and solving multi-objective optimizationproblems. The central characteristic of the model is the use ofpiecewise linearly defined ...
On Our Experience with Modular Pluggable Analyses
(2004-10-04)
We present a technique that enables the focused applicationof multiple analyses to di erent modules in thesame program. In our approach, each module encapsulatesone or more data structures and uses membershipin abstract ...
Implementing Asynchronous Distributed Systems Using the IOA Toolkit
(2004-10-06)
This document is a report about the capabilities and performance of the IOA Toolkit, and in particularthe tools that provide support for implementing and running distributed systems (checker,composer, code generator). The ...
