Multi-category classification of short dialogues is a common task performed by humans. When assigning a question to an expert, a customer service operator tries to classify the cu...
1 We propose a principled method for designing high level features for photo quality assessment. Our resulting system can classify between high quality professional photos and low...
Recently spatio-temporal local features have been proposed as image features to recognize events or human actions in videos. In this paper, we propose yet another local spatio-temp...
We consider learning models for object recognition from examples. Our method is motivated by systems that use the Hausdorff distance as a shape comparison measure. Typically an ob...
We present a hierarchical generative model for object recognition that is constructed by weakly-supervised learning. A key component is a novel, adaptive patch feature whose width...
