Face tracking in realistic environments is a difficult problem due to pose variations, occlusions of objects, illumination changes and cluttered background, among others. The paper...
We consider the existence of a linear weak learner for boosting algorithms. A weak learner for binary classification problems is required to achieve a weighted empirical error on t...
In the “query-by-humming” problem, we attempt to retrieve a specific song from a target set based on a sung query. Recent evaluations of query-by-humming systems show that th...
Monotonicity is a simple yet significant qualitative characteristic. We consider the problem of segmenting an array in up to K segments. We want segments to be as monotonic as po...
The problem of fitting a straight line to a finite collection of points in the plane is an important problem in statistical estimation. Robust estimators are widely used because...
