Page revisiting is a popular browsing activity in the Web. In this paper we describe a method for improving page revisiting by detecting and highlighting the information on browsed Web pages that is fresh for a user. Content freshness is determined based on comparison with the previously viewed versions of pages. Any new content for the user is marked, enabling the user to quickly spot it. We a...

Computer vision is increasingly becoming interested in the rapid estimation of object detectors. Canonical hard negative mining strategies are slow as they require multiple passes of the large negative training set. Recent work has demonstrated that if the distribution of negative examples is assumed to be stationary, then Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) can learn comparable detectors withou...

We present an application of hierarchical Bayesian estimation to robot map building. The revisiting problem occurs when a robot has to decide whether it is seeing a previouslybuilt portion of a map, or is exploring new territory. This is a difficult decision problem, requiring the probability of being outside of the current known map. To estimate this probability, we model the structure of a "t...
