Glass-like objects are widespread in daily life but remain intractable to be segmented for most existing methods. The transparent property makes it difficult to be distinguished from background, while the tiny separation boundary further…
The shapelet transform is a form of feature extraction for time series, in which a time series is described by its similarity to each of a collection of `shapelets'. However it has previously suffered from a number of limitations, such as…
Partitioning trees are efficient data structures for $k$-nearest neighbor search. Machine learning libraries commonly use a special type of partitioning trees called $k$d-trees to perform $k$-nn search. Unfortunately, $k$d-trees can be…
