Bag-of-words approaches to information retrieval (IR) are effective but assume independence between words. The Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL) is a cognitively motivated and...
Image auto-annotation, i.e., the association of words to whole images, has attracted considerable attention. In particular, unsupervised, probabilistic latent variable models of t...
Content-addressability is a fundamental feature of human memory underlying many associative information retrieval tasks. In contrast to location-based memory devices, content-addre...
We present a method for face recognition by fitting a 3D Morphable Model to shape data. Fitting is done with a a robust nonrigid ICP algorithm. For recognition, it is possible to...
