Abstract. We introduce a new framework for feature grouping based on factor graphs, which are graphical models that encode interactions among arbitrary numbers of random variables....
Using standard calculus, explicit formulas for the one-dimensional continuous and discrete homotopy operators are derived. It is shown that these formulas are equivalent to those ...
The problem of signature verification is considered within the bounds of the kernel-based methodology of pattern recognition, more specifically, SVM principle of machine learning....
This paper proposes a gender recognition scheme focused on local appearance-based features to describe the top half of the face. Due to the fact that only the top half of the face ...
This paper introduces the Dynamic Mesh Optimization meta-heuristic, which falls under the evolutionary computation techniques. Moreover, we outline its application to the feature s...
