Guaranteeing Convergence of Iterative Skewed Voting Algorithms for Image Segmentation
In this paper we provide rigorous proof for the convergence of an iterative voting-based image segmentation algorithm called Active Masks. Active Masks (AM) was proposed to solve the challenging task of delineating punctate patterns of cells from fluorescence microscope images. Each iteration of AM consists of a linear...

CLFace: A Scalable and Resource-Efficient Continual Learning Framework for Lifelong Face Recognition
An important aspect of deploying face recognition (FR) algorithms in real-world applications is their ability to learn new face identities from a continuous data stream. However, the online training of existing deep neural network-based FR algorithms, which are pre-trained offline on large-scale stationary datasets, en...
