The detection of faces in images is fundamentally a rare event detection problem. Cascade classifiers provide an efficient computational solution, by leveraging the asymmetry in t...
Speech reading, also known as lip reading, is aimed at extracting visual cues of lip and facial movements to aid in recognition of speech. The main hurdle for speech reading is th...
Scaling discrete AdaBoost to handle real-valued weak hypotheses has often been done under the auspices of convex optimization, but little is generally known from the original boost...
A cost-sensitive extension of boosting, denoted as asymmetric boosting, is presented. Unlike previous proposals, the new algorithm is derived from sound decision-theoretic princip...
Abstract—Multiprocessor architectures are becoming popular in both desktop and mobile processors. Among multiprocessor architectures, asymmetric architectures show promise in sav...
