We introduce perturbation kernels, a new class of similarity measure for information retrieval that casts word similarity in terms of multi-task learning. Perturbation kernels mode...
The innovations and improvements in digital imaging sensors and scanners, computer modeling, haptic equipments and e-learning technology, as well as the availability of many powerf...
This paper describes the Mediating Agent, an animated pedagogical agent inserted in a computational system for distance learning, which has the goal of motivating the student to le...
In this study, we suggest a method to adapt an image retrieval system into a configurable one. Basically, original feature space of a content-based retrieval system is nonlinearly...
Active Appearance Models (AAMs) have been extensively used for face alignment during the last 20 years. While AAMs have numerous advantages relative to alternate approaches, they ...
