Continuous speech input for ASR processing is usually presegmented into speech stretches by pauses. In this paper, we propose that smaller, prosodically defined units can be ident...

We describe a new face detection algorithm based on a hierarchy of support vector classifiers (SVMs) designed for efficient computation. The hierarchy serves as a platform for a c...
For face recognition from video streams speed and accuracy are vital aspects. The first decision whether a preprocessed image region represents a human face or not is often made by...
: Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of any given learning algorithm. In this paper we employ combination of Adaboost with Support Vector Machine (SVM) as comp...
—A novel framework is proposed for the design of cost-sensitive boosting algorithms. The framework is based on the identification of two necessary conditions for optimal cost-sen...
