Face alignment seeks to deform a face model to match it with the features of the image of a face by optimizing an appropriate cost function. We propose a new face model that is al...
Machine Learned Ranking approaches have shown successes in web search engines. With the increasing demands on developing effective ranking functions for different search domains, ...

Given a binary classification task, a ranker sorts a set of instances from highest to lowest expectation that the instance is positive. We propose a lexicographic ranker, LexRank,...
Most accurate predictions are typically obtained by learning machines with complex feature spaces (as e.g. induced by kernels). Unfortunately, such decision rules are hardly access...
