Learning object segmentation from video data
(2003-09-08)
This memo describes the initial results of a project to create a self-supervised algorithm for learning object segmentation from video data. Developmental psychology and computational experience have demonstrated that the ...
Fast Contour Matching Using Approximate Earth Mover's Distance
(2003-12-05)
Weighted graph matching is a good way to align a pair of shapes represented by a set of descriptive local features; the set of correspondences produced by the minimum cost of matching features from one shape to the features ...
Permutation Tests for Classification
(2003-08-28)
We introduce and explore an approach to estimating statistical significance of classification accuracy, which is particularly useful in scientific applications of machine learning where high dimensionality of the data and ...
RamboNodes for the Metropolitan Ad Hoc Network
(2003-12-17)
We present an algorithm to store data robustly in a large, geographically distributed network by means of localized regions of data storage that move in response to changing conditions. For example, data might migrate away ...
Mobilized ad-hoc networks: A reinforcement learning approach
(2003-12-04)
Research in mobile ad-hoc networks has focused on situations in which nodes have no control over their movements. We investigate an important but overlooked domain in which nodes do have control over their movements. ...
Near-Optimal Distributed Failure Circumscription
(2003-08-11)
Small failures should only disrupt a small part of a network. One way to do this is by marking the surrounding area as untrustworthy --- circumscribing the failure. This can be done with a distributed algorithm using ...
Evolving Robocode Tank Fighters
(2003-10-28)
In this paper, I describe the application of genetic programming to evolve a controller for a robotic tank in a simulated environment. The purpose is to explore how genetic techniques can best be applied to produce ...
Automatically Recovering Geometry and Texture from Large Sets of Calibrated Images
(1999-10-22)
Three-dimensional models which contain both geometry and texture have numerous applications such as urban planning, physical simulation, and virtual environments. A major focus of computer vision (and recently graphics) ...
How People Re-find Information When the Web Changes
(2004-06-18)
This paper investigates how people return to information in a dynamic information environment. For example, a person might want to return to Web content via a link encountered earlier on a Web page, only to learn that the ...
A Unified Statistical and Information Theoretic Framework for Multi-modal Image Registration
(2004-04-28)
We formulate and interpret several multi-modal registration methods in the context of a unified statistical and information theoretic framework. A unified interpretation clarifies the implicit assumptions of each method ...
