Many natural image sets are samples of a low-dimensional manifold in the space of all possible images. When the image data set is not a linear combination of a small number of bas...
While low-dimensional image representations have been very popular in computer vision, they suffer from two limitations: (i) they require collecting a large and varied training se...
Understanding the structure of multidimensional patterns, especially in unsupervised case, is of fundamental importance in data mining, pattern recognition and machine learning. Se...
Current feature-based methods for sketch recognition systems rely on human-selected features. Certain machine learning techniques have been found to be good nonlinear features ext...
Abstract. In this paper we elaborate on the challenges of learning manifolds that have many relevant clusters, and where the clusters can have widely varying statistics. We call su...
