In this paper, we exploit the problem of inferring images’ semantic concepts from community-contributed images and their associated noisy tags. To infer the concepts more accura...
This paper presents a statistical model for textures that uses a non-negative decomposition on a set of local atoms learned from an exemplar. This model is described by the varianc...
Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of learning algorithms. We use boosting to construct improved privacy-preserving synopses of an input database. These are da...
Labeled data for classification could often be obtained by sampling that restricts or favors choice of certain classes. A classifier trained using such data will be biased, resulti...
Most game programs have a large number of parameters that are crucial for their performance. While tuning these parameters by hand is rather difficult, efficient and easy to use ge...
