Abstract--We investigate parameter-based and distributionbased approaches to regularizing the generative, similarity-based classifier called local similarity discriminant analysis ...
Many machine learning methods have recently been applied to natural language processing tasks. Among them, the Winnow algorithm has been argued to be particularly suitable for NLP...
The most popular way to use probabilistic models in vision is first to extract some descriptors of small image patches or object parts using well-engineered features, and then to...
Many realistic visual recognition tasks are “open” in the sense that the number and nature of the categories to be learned are not initially known, and there is no closed set ...
Traditional classification methods assume that the training and the test data arise from the same underlying distribution. However, in several adversarial settings, the test set is...
