Object/scene detection by discriminative kernel-based classification has gained great interest due to its promising performance and flexibility. In this paper, unlike traditional ...
Learning texts contain much implicit knowledge which is ideally presented to the learner in a structured manner - a typical example being definitions of terms in the text, which w...
We introduce a general-purpose learning machine that we call the Guaranteed Error Machine, or GEM, and two learning algorithms, a real GEM algorithm and an ideal GEM algorithm. Th...
Tasks of information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be formulated in a con...
In this paper we present a novel face classification system
where we represent face images as a spatial arrangement
of image patches, and seek a smooth non-linear functional
map...
