We developed a system that detects abnormal sound from sound signal observed by a surveillance microphone. Our system learns the "normal sound" from observation of the m...
Fusion of multimedia streams for enhanced performance is a critical problem for retrieval. However, fusion performance tends to easily overfit the hillclimb set used to learn fus...
A team of learning machines is a multiset of learning machines. A team is said to successfully learn a concept just in case each member of some nonempty subset, of predetermined s...
This paper reports our experiments on the concept detection task of TRECVID 2007. In these experiments, we have addressed two approaches which are selecting and fusing features and...
