— Optimal component analysis (OCA) uses a stochastic gradient optimization process to find optimal representations for general criteria and shows good performance in object reco...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a statistical approach for the automatic generation of dialogs by means of a user simulator. This technique can be used to generate dialogs with...
Skeletons are important shape descriptors in object representation and recognition. Typically, skeletons of volumetric models are computed using iterative thinning. However, tradi...
Choosing an appropriate kernel is one of the key problems in kernel-based methods. Most existing kernel selection methods require that the class labels of the training examples ar...
Text that appears in images contains important and useful information. Detection and extraction of text in images have been used in many applications. In this paper, we propose a ...
