Noise-Contrastive Estimation of Unnormalized Statistical Models, with Applications to Natural Image Statistics
We consider the task of estimating, from observed data, a probabilistic model that is parameterized by a finite number of parameters. In particular, we are considering the situat...

Writer Retrieval - Exploration of a Novel Biometric Scenario Using Perceptual Features Derived from Script Orientation
—We propose a novel scenario called “writer retrieval” consisting in the retrieval from a set of documents all those produced by the same writer. The retrieval is based on a ...

Complex Gaussian scale mixtures of complex wavelet coefficients
In this paper, we propose the complex Gaussian scale mixture (CGSM) to model the complex wavelet coefficients as an extension of the Gaussian scale mixture (GSM), which is for real...
