Matching word images has many applications in document recognition and retrieval systems. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is popularly used to estimate the similarity between word imag...
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...
As it becomes increasingly viable to capture, store, and share large amounts of image and video data, automatic image analysis is crucial to managing visual information. Many prob...
In this paper, we propose a novel transductive learning framework named manifold-ranking based image retrieval (MRBIR). Given a query image, MRBIR first makes use of a manifold ra...
The performance of graph based clustering methods critically depends on the quality of the distance function, used to compute similarities between pairs of neighboring nodes. In t...
