Different people sign their signatures with different orientation, size, deviation, etc. Even the signatures of the same individual change temporarily in the aforementioned attributes under different circumstances (e.g. the si...

think if a human could not tell the difference between the computer’s behavior and the behavior of another human. In the standard Turing test, a human subject communicates with both another person and a computer electronically (e.g. by typing on a keyboard). The computer passes the Turing test if the subject cannot tell the computer’s communication from the human’s – if the computer can ‘fool’ ...

In this talk I will agree with Harry Potter that one should "never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain".

Bodies are the best possible example of located intelligence, of course, and interacting with another person is best done when...

The State of South Carolina is very vulnerable to the attack of hurricanes since it is adjacent with the Atlantic Ocean.

Take the city of Charleston as an example, 500,000 people rushed to Columbia, a safety heaven more than 200 kilometers away, through Interstate I-26. Since I-26 is the principal route goi...

We propose to compute a vector eld, similar to the optical ow computed between successive frames of an image sequence, which maps optimally (in a certain sense) one face image onto another face image. A cost of the mapping is computed and used to quantify the dissimilarity between the two images. The technique is applied to the problem of person identiication by comparing an input face image to...

Crimes of the worst dye lie in profusion before us. A father inflicting murderous blows on his only son! Two gentlemen shooting, hacking, and smashing one another to death in a back drawing-room in a bye street in the Strand ! A surgeon charged with a professional murder upon an unhappy patient! Several husbands murdering their wives ! A lady attacking her aged mother with a bludgeon! A boy sta...
