We have developed a two-phase generative / discriminative learning procedure for the recognition of classes of objects and concepts in outdoor scenes. Our method uses both multipl...
A new method to pre-segment images by means of a hierarchical description is proposed. This description is obtained from an investigation of the deep structure of a scale space im...
This paper formalizes a novel, intrinsic geometric scale space (IGSS) of 3D surface shapes. The intrinsic geometry of a surface is diffused by means of the Ricci flow for the gener...
Kernel methods have gained a great deal of popularity in the machine learning community as a method to learn indirectly in highdimensional feature spaces. Those interested in rela...
Text clustering methods can be used to structure large sets of text or hypertext documents. The well-known methods of text clustering, however, do not really address the special p...
