A representational gap exists between low-level measurements (segmentation, object classification, tracking) and high-level understanding of video sequences. In this paper, we propose a novel representation of events in videos to bridge this gap, based on the CASE representation of natural languages. The proposed representation has three significant contributions over existing frameworks. First...

This work deals with stability in incremental induction of decision trees. Stability problems arise when an induction algorithm must revise a decision tree very often and tree oscillations between similar concepts decrease learning speed. We introduce a heuristic to tackle this problem and an algorithm that uses this heuristic, and we provide theoretical and experimental backing to justify it. ...

Since the 1980s there has been an explosion in the use of formalized methodologies for increasing quality and efficiency. Methods outlined by philosophies such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, Lean, and ISO 9001 have yielded great returns in the manufacturing environment. These techniques have proven successful in reducing costs, increasing production, and improving quality in both...
