Recent studies have shown that machine learning can improve the accuracy of detecting object boundaries in images. In the standard approach, a boundary detector is trained by mini...

Topology is an important prior in many image segmentation tasks. In this paper, we design and implement a novel graph-based min-cut/max-flow algorithm that incorporates topology p...
In this paper we consider the problem of classification in the presence of pairwise constraints, which consist of pairs of examples as well as a binary variable indicating whether...
Many practical optimization problems are constrained black boxes. Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies (CMA-ES) belong to the most successful black box optimization me...
A greedy-based approach to learn a compact and discriminative dictionary for sparse representation is presented. We propose an objective function consisting of two components: ent...
