Combining visual dictionary, kernel-based similarity and learning strategy for image category retrieval
This paper presents a search engine architecture, RETIN, aiming at retrieving complex categories in large image databases. For indexing, a scheme based on a two-step quantization ...

Domain Adaptation: A Small Sample Statistical Approach
We study the prevalent problem when a test distribution differs from the training distribution. We consider a setting where our training set consists of a small number of sample d...

Multi-task evolutionary shaping without pre-specified representations
Shaping functions can be used in multi-task reinforcement learning (RL) to incorporate knowledge from previously experienced tasks to speed up learning on a new task. So far, rese...

Learning a Similarity Metric Discriminatively, with Application to Face Verification
We present a method for training a similarity metric from data. The method can be used for recognition or verification applications where the number of categories is very large an...

The Quantitative Law of Effect is a Robust Emergent Property of an Evolutionary Algorithm for Reinforcement Learning
An evolutionary reinforcement-learning algorithm, the operation of which was not associated with an optimality condition, was instantiated in an artificial organism. The algorithm ...
