Abstract. Recently, the authors described a training method for a convolutional neural network of threshold neurons. Hidden layers are trained by by clustering, in a feed-forward m...

Abstract. Estimation of probability density functions (pdf) is one major topic in pattern recognition. Parametric techniques rely on an arbitrary assumption on the form of the unde...
Abstract. Decomposition techniques are used to speed up training support vector machines but for linear programming support vector machines (LP-SVMs) direct implementation of decom...
We discuss incremental training of support vector machines in which we approximate the regions, where support vector candidates exist, by truncated hypercones. We generate the trun...
Abstract. In our previous work we have shown that Mahalanobis kernels are useful for support vector classifiers both from generalization ability and model selection speed. In this ...
Abstract. Hierarchical neural networks show many benefits when employed for classification problems even when only simple methods analogous to decision trees are used to retrieve t...

We present a multiclass classification system for gray value images through boosting. The feature selection is done using the LPBoost algorithm which selects suitable features of a...
