Datatype-generic programming (DGP) is the next step beyond abstracting over types using parametric polymorphism, which is often called "genericity" in object-oriented la...
Abstract. In the multiarmed bandit problem, a gambler must decide which arm of K nonidentical slot machines to play in a sequence of trials so as to maximize his reward. This class...
Kernel machines (e.g. SVM, KLDA) have shown state-ofthe-art performance in several visual classification tasks. The classification performance of kernel machines greatly depends o...
In this paper we present a combined approach for ob-
ject localization and classification. Our contribution is two-
fold. (a) A contextual combination of localization and clas-

Both example-based and model-based approaches for classifying contour shapes can encounter difficulties when dealing with classes that have large nonlinear variability, especially...
