This paper presents a new framework called fuzzy relevance feedback in interactive content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems based on soft-decision. An efficient learning appro...
We investigate the problem of how to evaluate, fast and efficiently, classes of optimal route queries on a massive graph in a unified framework. To evaluate a route query effectiv...
We propose a method to train a cascade of classifiers by simultaneously optimizing all its stages. The approach relies on the idea of optimizing soft cascades. In particular, inst...
