Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) are well-studied generative models. For image data, however, standard RBMs are suboptimal, since they do not exploit the local nature of image ...
In this paper, we propose an unsupervised approach to select representative face samples (models) from raw videos and build an appearance-based face recognition system. The approa...
The emergence of multicore processors has increased the need for simple parallel programming models usable by nonexperts. The ability to specify subparts of a bigger data structur...
We use unsupervised probabilistic machine learning ideas to try to explain the kinds of learning observed in real neurons, the goal being to connect abstract principles of self-or...
Namespaces are a central building block of XML technologies today, they provide the identification mechanism for many XML-related vocabularies. Despite their ubiquity, there is no...
