Hidden Conditional Random Fields(HCRF) is a very promising approach to model speech. However, because HCRF computes the score of a hypothesis by summing up linearly weighted featu...
Many diagrams contain compound objects composed of parts. We propose a recognition framework that learns parts in an unsupervised way, and requires training labels only for compou...
This paper shows (i) improvements over state-of-the-art local feature recognition systems, (ii) how to formulate principled models for automatic local feature selection in object c...
The management of groups is an essential task in collaborative learning scenarios. In a blended learning situation, in which online activities and face-to-face activities are comb...
Eye gaze and gesture form key conversational grounding cues that are used extensively in face-to-face interaction among people. To accurately recognize visual feedback during inter...
