In this paper, we propose a probabilistic model for web image mining, which is based on concept-sensitive salient regions without human intervene. Our goal is to achieve a middle-...
The Independent Component Analysis (ICA) model is extended to the case where the components are not necessarily independent: depending on the value a hidden latent process at the ...
Users of topic modeling methods often have knowledge about the composition of words that should have high or low probability in various topics. We incorporate such domain knowledg...
We discuss the problem of fitting an implicit shape model to a set of points sampled from a co-dimension one manifold of arbitrary topology. The method solves a non-convex optimis...

In this paper we present an algorithm for face detection that is based on generic local descriptors (e.g. eyes). A generic descriptor captures the distribution of individual descr...
