We propose a novel mode of feedback for image search, where a user describes which properties of exemplar images should be adjusted in order to more closely match his/her mental m...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs), though accurate, are still difficult to solve large-scale applications, due to the computational and storage requirement. To relieve this problem,...
We present and derive a new stick-breaking construction of the beta process. The construction is closely related to a special case of the stick-breaking construction of the Dirich...

Abstract. We present results about minimization of convex functionals defined over a finite set of vectors in a finite dimensional Hilbert space, that extend several known results ...
We consider the Riemannian geometry defined on a convex set by the Hessian of a selfconcordant barrier function, and its associated geodesic curves. These provide guidance for the...
