Hou, Daqing, Yin, Eunice

Technical report TR05-07. In this study, we collected and analyzed 190 and 110 questions about JTree and JButton, respectively, from the Swing forum at forum.java.sun.com. We classified these questions by the design features of these two components. This classification leads to a better...

Zaiane, Osmar, Wang, Weinan

Technical report TR02-07. Clustering means grouping similar objects into groups such that objects within a same group bear similarity to each other while objects in different groups are dissimilar to each other. As an important component of data mining, much research on clustering has been...

Schaeffer, Jonathan, Sturtevant, Nathan, Holte, Robert, Anderson, Ken

Technical report TR08-05. The following report describes some techniques that generalize and attempt to improve upon the Coarse-to-Fine Dynamic Programming (CFDP) algorithm developed by Christopher Raphael. CFDP uses a hierarchy of abstraction graphs, iteratively searches to find optimal...

Zhang, Hong, Kube, C. Ronald

Technical report TR93-06. In this paper, we explore the idea of using environmental cues as a control for a chain of sequential behaviours which, when taken together, define a task achieving group behaviour. Our approach is to define the collective task, to be performed by multiple robots, as a...

Manolopoulos, Yannis, Chitkara, Vishal, Tousidou, Eleni, Nascimento, Mario

Technical report TR01-02. Significant research has focused on determining efficient methodologies for effective and speedy retrieval in large image databases. Towards that goal, the first contribution of this paper is an image abstraction technique, called VBA, based on signature bit-strings and...

Chitkara, Vishal

Technical report TR01-08. Significant research has focused on determining efficient methodologies for retrieving images in large image databases. This thesis addresses the design and implementation of a new image abstraction technique based on compact signature bit-strings and an appropriate...

Buchanan, John, Verevka, Oleg

Technical report TR95-04. Recent results describe how a space-filling curve can be used as an error-diffusion path for half-toning of grey-scale images. The space-filling half-toning method produces clustered approximations to images with less regular artifacts than other available clustering...

Billings, Darse

Technical report TR95-22. Games are an interesting and challenging domain for computer science research, having the nice characteristics of a clearly defined set of rules and a specific goal. Developing a program to play a strategic game well often involves the application of theoretical...

2003

Jiang, Tao, Lin, Guohui, Chen, Zhi-Zhong

Technical report TR03-06. Given a set of species and their similarity data, an important problem in evolutionary biology is how to reconstruct a phylogeny (also called evolutionary tree) so that species are close in the phylogeny if and only if they have high similarity. Assume that the...

Johanson, Michael, Bowling, Michael, Zinkevich, Martin

Technical report TR07-15. Adaptation to other initially unknown agents often requires computing an effective counter-strategy. In the Bayesian paradigm, one must find a good counter-strategy to the inferred posterior of the other agents' behavior. In the experts paradigm, one may want to choose...
