DOI: 10.1029/2018pa003366
Abstract: Our understanding of North Atlantic Ocean variability within the coupled climate system is limited by the brevity of instrumental records and a deficiency of absolutely dated marine proxies. Here we demonstrate that a spatial network… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2019.2933303
Abstract: Effective video representation is a key ingredient in action recognition, but how to learn effective spatial features remains a fundamental and challenging task. The existing CNN-based methods apply low-resolution feature maps to get the high-level… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tase.2016.2573818
Abstract: The problem of optimal placement of sensors for monitoring a spatial network (e.g., a road network with moving ground targets or intruders) is considered in this paper. In particular, the optimization of locations of a… read more here.
