This paper presents a unified framework for intra-view and inter-view constraint propagation on multi-view data. Pairwise constraint propagation has been studied extensively, where each pairwise constraint is defined over a pair of data points from a single view. In contrast, very little attention has been paid to inter-view constraint propagation, which is more challenging since each pairwise ...

A fast and efficient three-dimensional generalized rectangular wide-angle beam propagation method (GR-WABPM) based on a recently proposed modified Padé (1,1) approximant is presented. In our method, at each propagation step, the beam propagation equation is recast in terms of a Helmholtz equation with a source term, which is solved quickly and accurately by a recently introduced complex Jacobi ...

Label propagation is a popular graph-based semisupervised learning framework. So as to obtain the optimal labeling scores, the label propagation algorithm requires an inverse matrix which incurs the high computational cost ofO(n+cn), where n and c are the numbers of data points and labels, respectively. This paper proposes an efficient label propagation algorithm that guarantees exactly the sam...

We propose a new algorithm for binary quantization based on the Belief Propagation algorithm with decimation over factor graphs of Low Density Generator Matrix (LDGM) codes. This algorithm, which we call Bias Propagation (BiP), can be considered as a special case of the Survey Propagation algorithm proposed for binary quantization by Wainwright et al. [8]. It achieves the same near-optimal rate...

A numerical transfer matrix method (TMM) is applied to investigate hybrid surface plasmon polaritons (HySPPs) waveguide structure, which consists of a high permittivity dielectric fiber separated from a metal surface with a low permittivity dielectric gap. The results obtained from the TMM agree well with those from the finite element method but with a faster calculation speed. As a demonstrati...

A new method for solving the wave equation is presented that is nonparaxial and can be applied to wide-angle beam propagation. It shows very good stability characteristics in the sense that relatively larger step sizes can be taken. An implementation by use of the collocation method is presented in which only simple matrix multiplications are involved and no numerical matrix diagonalization or ...
