Influential people have an important role in the process of information diffusion. However, there are several ways to be influential, for example, to be the most popular or the...
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) provides a lower rank approximation of a matrix. Due to nonnegativity imposed on the factors, it gives a latent structure that is often mor...
—Web-scale image search engines (e.g. Google Image Search, Bing Image Search) mostly rely on surrounding text features. It is difficult for them to interpret users’ search int...

— This paper addresses the problem of large-scale image search. Three constraints have to be taken into account: search accuracy, efficiency, and memory usage. We first present...
— Language and image understanding are two major goals of artificial intelligence which can both be conceptually formulated in terms of parsing the input signal into a hierarchi...

Binary descriptors are becoming increasingly popular as a means to compare feature points very fast and while requiring comparatively small amounts of memory. The typical approach...
—In this paper, we present a novel image classification system that is built around a core of trainable filter ensembles that we call Volterra kernel classifiers. Our system trea...

— Context is critical for reducing the uncertainty in object detection. However, context modelling is challenging because there are often many different types of contextual infor...
—SIFT-like local feature descriptors are ubiquitously employed in such computer vision applications as content-based retrieval, video analysis, copy detection, object recognition...
