The experimental evidence accumulated over the past 20 years indicates that text indexing systems based on the assignment of appropriately weighted single terms produce retrieval results that are superior to those obtainable with other more elaborate text representations. These results depend

Local space-time features capture local events in video and can be adapted to the size, the frequency and the velocity of moving patterns. In this paper we demonstrate how such features can be used for recognizing complex motion patterns. We construct video representations in terms of local space

face descriptor. The performance of the proposed method is assessed in the face recognition problem under different challenges. Other applications and several extensions are also discussed.

indexed by distinctions-i.e., assumptions of inequality among names. These theories are based upon a semantics in terms of a labeled transition system and a notion of strong bisimulation, both of which are expounded in detail in a companion paper. We also report briefly on work-in-progress based upon

of conceptual tools that are directly useful in guiding the implementation and evaluation of work redesign projects. In the paragraphs to follow, we examine several existing theoretical approaches to work redesign, with a special eye toward the measurability of the concepts employed and the action implications

under π, which we assume exists and is independent of s 0 for all policies. In the average reward formulation, the value of a state-action pair given a policy is defined as The second formulation we cover is that in which there is a designated start state s 0 , and we care only about the long-term

formed an orthonormal basis. Approximating a "tight frame" generates redundancy which allows low-resolution neural responses to represent high-resolution images, as we illustrate by image reconstructions with severely quantized 2D Gabor coefficients. Index Terms---Gabor wavelets, coarse coding

AbstractÐThe Facial Action Coding System (FACS) [23] is an objective method for quantifying facial movement in terms of component actions. This system is widely used in behavioral investigations of emotion, cognitive processes, and social interaction. The coding is presently performed by highly

and the costs of decision/action consequences, among others. Examples of recommended types and levels of automation are provided to illustrate the application of the model to automation design.
