—We provide a novel search technique which uses a hierarchical model and a mutual information gain heuristic to efficiently prune the search space when localizing faces in images...
This paper presents a fast algorithm for detecting facial parts such as nose, eyes and lips in an image by using lifting dyadic wavelet filters. Free parameters in the lifting fil...
Face detection is a canonical example of a rare event detection problem, in which target patterns occur with much lower frequency than nontargets. Out of millions of face-sized wi...
This paper deals with emotional speech detection in home movies. In this study, we focus on infant-directed speech also called "motherese" which is characterized by highe...
