Image retrieval critically relies on the distance function used to compare a query image to images in the database. We suggest to learn such distance functions by training binary ...
Learning Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) from corpora and incorporating the extracted inferring knowledge with a Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier has been applied to charac...
When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
In relevance feedback, active learning is often used to alleviate the burden of labeling by selecting only the most informative data. Traditional data selection strategies often c...
—In increasingly many cases of interest in computer vision and pattern recognition, one is often confronted with the situation where data size is very large. Usually, the labels ...
