Recent research in object recognition has demonstrated the advantages of representing objects and scenes through localized patterns such as small image templates. In this paper we...
Each clustering algorithm induces a similarity between given data points, according to the underlying clustering criteria. Given the large number of available clustering technique...

Distance functions are an important component in many learning applications. However, the correct function is context dependent, therefore it is advantageous to learn a distance f...
We present a novel training method for recognizing traffic sign symbols undergoing image degradations. In order to cope with the degradations, it is desirable to use similarly deg...

Inferring 3D body pose as well as viewpoint from a single silhouette image is a challenging problem. We present a new generative model to represent shape deformations according to...
We propose a competitive finite mixture of neurons (or perceptrons) for solving binary classification problems. Our classifier includes a prior for the weights between different n...
