Specular reflections provide many important visual cues in our daily environment. They inform us of the shape of objects, of the material they are made of, of their relative posit...
We investigate the role of sparsity and localized features in a biologically-inspired model of visual object classification. As in the model of Serre, Wolf, and Poggio, we first a...
This paper presents Latent Semantic Googling, a variant of Landauer’s Latent Semantic Indexing that uses the Google search engine to judge the semantic closeness of sets of word...
We propose a novel context sensitive algorithm for evaluation of ordinal attributes which exploits the information hidden in ordering of attributes’ and class’ values and prov...
In this paper, an algorithm for image coding based on a sparse 3-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (3D DCT) is studied. The algorithm is essentially a method for achieving a su...
