Efficient geometric algorithms for parsing in two dimensions
TL;DR: This paper introduces (and unify) several types of geometrical data structures which can be used to significantly accelerate parsing time, and introduces a clean design for the parsing software, and test the same parsing framework with various geometric constraints to determine the most effective combination.

Credit-based peer-to-peer storage
TL;DR: In this article, a distributed computing devices comprising a system for sharing computing resources can provide shared computing resources to users having sufficient resource credits, where a user can earn resource credits by reliably offering a computing resource for sharing for a predetermined amount of time.

Parsing hierarchical lists and outlines
Ming Ye,Paul A. Viola +1 more
TL;DR: This paper used the Collins model for parsing non-textual information into hierarchical content, and assigned labels to lines that indicate how the lines relate to one another in a hierarchical content representation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Flexible histograms: a multiresolution target discrimination model
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for detecting cross-scale depen-dencies in training imagery is proposed. But, the method is not suitable for SAR images of vehicles, since scatters may appear and then disappear.
Proceedings Article
Learning Informative Statistics: A Nonparametnic Approach
TL;DR: An information theoretic approach for categorizing and modeling dynamic processes which can learn a compact and informative statistic which summarizes past states to predict future observations and yields a principled approach for discriminating processes with differing dynamics and/or dependencies.
