Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating an unknown probability distribution from samples using the principle of maximum entropy (maxent). To alleviate overfitting with a v...
Face representations based on Gabor features have achieved great success in face recognition, such as Elastic Graph Matching, Gabor Fisher Classifier (GFC), and AdaBoosted Gabor F...
One knowledge discovery problem in the rapid response setting is the cost of learning which patterns are indicative of a threat. This typically involves a detailed follow-through,...
