Abstract. Mutual Information (MI) is a long studied measure of coding efficiency, and many attempts to apply it to population coding have been made. However, this is a computationa...
In this paper we present a simple framework for activity recognition based on a model of multi-layered finite state machines, built on top of a low level image processing module f...
Abstract. Sigmoidal or radial transfer functions do not guarantee the best generalization nor fast learning of neural networks. Families of parameterized transfer functions provide...
We present a technique for augmenting annotated training data with hierarchical word clusters that are automatically derived from a large unannotated corpus. Cluster membership is...
Our experiments in the Robust track this year focused on predicting query difficulty and using this prediction for improving information retrieval. We developed two prediction alg...
