We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...
The creation of a complex web site is a thorny problem in user interface design. In this paper we explore the notion of adaptive web sites: sites that semi-automatically improve t...
Writer independent handwriting recognition systems are limited in their accuracy, primarily due the large variations in writing styles of most characters. Samples from a single ch...
Similarity matrices generated from many applications may not be positive semidefinite, and hence can't fit into the kernel machine framework. In this paper, we study the prob...
In this work, a framework for the reconstruction of smooth surface shapes from shading images is presented. The method is based on using a backpropagationbased neural network for ...
