This paper proposes a simple voting scheme for off-line recognition of handprinted numerals. One of the main features of the proposed scheme is that this is not script dependent. ...
In the past few years, some nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) or nonlinear manifold learning methods have aroused a great deal of interest in the machine learning communit...
This paper describes BoostMap, a method for efficient nearest neighbor retrieval under computationally expensive distance measures. Database and query objects are embedded into a v...

A variety of approaches exist to the automatic retrieval of the key part within a musical piece - its thumbnail. Most of these however do not use adequate modeling with respect to ...
We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
