Szafron, Duane, Ozsu, M. Tamer, Li, John

Technical report TR95-25. Declarative query languages are an important feature of database management systems and have played an important role in their success. As database management technology enters the multimedia information system area, the availability of special-purpose query languages...

Lee, Yoo-Shin

Technical report TR96-32. The goal of the DIOM (Distributed Interoperable Object Model) project is the development of adaptive methodologies and toolkits for the integration and access of heterogeneous information sources in large-scale and rapidly growing network environments. The Rainbow...

Chen, Xida, Yang, Yee Hong

Technical report TR11-07. In this paper, we present a structured light method to recover depth maps. Contrary to most temporal coding methods which require projecting a series of patterns, our method needs one color pattern only. Unlike most spatial coding methods which establish correspondence...

Hatch, Maurine, Stroulia, Eleni

Technical report TR02-06. With the advent of more and more services available on the Web, a user can have a difficult job of assembling the various pieces of a complex task to arrive at a final solution. Not only would the user need to access each web-based resource through its individual...

Sridhar, Veena

Technical report TR02-10. Large image databases are becoming popular due to the ease with which images are being created/digitized and stored. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has therefore evolved into a necessity. It is a challenging task to design an effective and efficient ...

Bowling, Michael, Johanson, Michael, Zinkevich, Martin, Piccione, Carmelo

Technical report TR07-14. Extensive games are a powerful model of multiagent decision-making scenarios with incomplete information. Finding a Nash equilibrium for very large instances of these games has received a great deal of recent attention. In this paper, we describe a new technique for...

Szepesvari, Csaba

Technical report TR09-13. This article presents a survey of reinforcement learning algorithms for Markov Decision Processes (MDP). In the first half of the article, the problem of value estimation is considered. Here we start by describing the idea of bootstrapping and temporal difference...

2004

Mallett, Daniel

Technical report TR04-21. As computing technology evolves, the need to manage very large collections of complex data objects continues to arise. Database systems have been continually adapting to support new data-types, for instance, support for spatial data management is now standard in most...

2007

Rafiei, Davood, Chubak, Pirooz

Technical report TR07-08. With the vast amount of information stored in natural language text, sophisticated query engines are needed to pull data and effectively relate the pieces. While there has been a great deal of activity around semistructured data and in particular XML, there has not been...

Qin, Xuejie, Yang, Herb

Technical report TR05-27. In this paper, we present a new mathematical framework for modeling texture images. Under this new framework, we prove that the Asymmetric Gray Level Aura Matrices (AGLAMs) of a given image have the necessary and sufficient information to represent the image. Using...
