We present the Conformal Embedding Analysis (CEA) for feature extraction and dimensionality reduction. Incorporating both conformal mapping and discriminating analysis, CEA projec...
Recent study has shown that canonical algorithms such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) can be obtained from graph based dimensionality ...
A good distance metric is crucial for many data mining tasks. To learn a metric in the unsupervised setting, most metric learning algorithms project observed data to a lowdimensio...
Learning the user’s semantics for CBIR involves two different sources of information: the similarity relations entailed by the content-based features, and the relevance relatio...
A visual representation of an object must meet at least three basic requirements. First, it must allow identification of the object in the presence of slight but unpredictable chan...
