Heuristics used by search algorithms are usually composed of more primitive functions which we call "features". A method for combining features is presented which is bas...
Face recognition algorithms need to deal with variable
lighting conditions. Near infrared (NIR) image based face
recognition technology has been proposed to effectively
overcome...
This paper introduces a Bayesian algorithm for constructing predictive models from data that are optimized to predict a target variable well for a particular instance. This algori...
Traditional Markov network structure learning algorithms perform a search for globally useful features. However, these algorithms are often slow and prone to finding local optima d...
