Noise Estimation from a Single Image
In order to work well, many computer vision algorithms require that their parameters be adjusted according to the image noise level, making it an important quantity to estimate. W...

Soft frame margin estimation of Gaussian Mixture Models for speaker recognition with sparse training data
—Discriminative Training (DT) methods for acoustic modeling, such as MMI, MCE, and SVM, have been proved effective in speaker recognition. In this paper we propose a DT method fo...
