— Missing feature theory (MFT) has demonstrated great potential for improving the noise robustness in speech recognition. MFT was mostly applied in the log-spectral domain since ...
In this paper we study face recognition across ages within a real passport photo verification task. First, we propose using the gradient orientation pyramid for this task. Discard...
Abstract. The importance of spatial configuration information for object class recognition is widely recognized. Single isolated local appearance codes are often ambiguous. On the...
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...
Many approaches to learning classifiers for structured objects (e.g., shapes) use generative models in a Bayesian framework. However, state-of-the-art classifiers for vectorial d...
