— One of the central issues in Learning to Rank (L2R) for Information Retrieval is to develop algorithms that construct ranking models by directly optimizing evaluation measures ...
As camera resolution increases, high-speed non-contact text capture through a digital camera is opening up a new channel for document capture and understanding. Unfortunately, per...
We consider the problem of reconstructing patterns from a feature map. Learning algorithms using kernels to operate in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) express their solu...
Error correction codes of suitable redundancy are used for ensuring perfect data recovery in noisy channels. For iterative decoding based methods, the decoder needs to be initiali...
A new, combined human activity detection method is proposed. Our method is based on Efros et al.'s motion descriptors[2] and Ke et al.'s event detectors[3]. Since both m...
