When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
Rank correlation measures are known for their resilience to perturbations in numeric values and are widely used in many evaluation metrics. Such ordinal measures have rarely been ...

Recently the re-ranking algorithms have been quite popular for web search and data mining. However, one of the issues is that those algorithms treat the content and link informati...
Scarcity and infeasibility of human supervision for large
scale multi-class classification problems necessitates active
learning. Unfortunately, existing active learning methods

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for learning generic visual vocabulary. We use diffusion maps to au-tomatically learn a semantic visual vocabulary from ab-undant quantiz...
