We consider the problem of learning a similarity function from a set of positive equivalence constraints, i.e. 'similar' point pairs. We define the similarity in informa...
One of the key problems in appearance-based vision is understanding how to use a set of labeled images to classify new images. Classification systems that can model human performa...
In this study, we suggest a method to adapt an image retrieval system into a configurable one. Basically, original feature space of a content-based retrieval system is nonlinearly...
We consider the problem of learning a mapping function from low-level feature space to high-level semantic space. Under the assumption that the data lie on a submanifold embedded ...
The importance of learning distance functions is gradually being acknowledged by the machine learning community, and different techniques are suggested that can successfully learn ...
