Visual codebook based quantization of robust appearance descriptors extracted from local image patches is an effective means of capturing image statistics for texture analysis and...
Linear and affine subspaces are commonly used to describe appearance of objects under different lighting, viewpoint, articulation, and identity. A natural problem arising from the...
We describe a parser for robust and flexible interpretation of user utterances in a multi-modal system for web search in newspaper databases. Users can speak or type, and they can...
Abstract— This paper presents a method for detecting independent temporally-persistent motion patterns in image sequences. The result is a description of the dynamic content of a...
A significant challenge in genetic programming is premature convergence to local optima, which often prevents evolution from solving problems. This paper introduces to genetic pro...
