Abstract. We propose AdaBoost.BHC, a novel multi-class boosting algorithm. AdaBoost.BHC solves a C class problem by using C − 1 binary classifiers defined by a hierarchy that i...
Online forums host a rich information exchange, often with contributions from many subject matter experts. In this work we evaluate algorithms for thread retrieval in a large and ...
This paper presents the development and evaluation of a speaker-independent audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) system that utilizes a segment-based modeling strategy. To suppo...

Evaluations of the state-of-the-art of both academic face recognition algorithms and commercial systems have shown that recognition performance of most current technologies degrad...
This paper introduces a novel colour-based affine covariant region detector. Our algorithm is an extension of the maximally stable extremal region (MSER) to colour. The extension ...
