The compositional nature of visual objects significantly limits their representation complexity and renders learning of structured object models tractable. Adopting this modeling ...
Features in many real world applications such as Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics and Information Retrieval have complex internal structure. For example, frequent patterns mined fr...
We consider the task of devising large-margin based surrogate losses for the learning to rank problem. In this learning to rank setting, the traditional hinge loss for structured ...
In this work we present a new string similarity feature, the sparse spatial sample (SSS). An SSS is a set of short substrings at specific spatial displacements contained in the or...
Log-linear and maximum-margin models are two commonly-used methods in supervised machine learning, and are frequently used in structured prediction problems. Efficient learning of...
