This paper investigates a new approach for training discriminant classifiers when only a small set of labeled data is available together with a large set of unlabeled data. This a...
As digital cameras with Global Positioning System (GPS) capability become available and people geotag their photos using other means, it is of great interest to annotate semantic e...
Shape is an essential visual feature of an image and it is widely used to describe image content in image classification and retrieval. In this paper, two new Fourier-based approa...
In order to respond correctly to a free form factual question given a large collection of texts, one needs to understand the question to a level that allows determining some of th...
This paper deals with generalized pattern search (GPS) algorithms for linearly constrained optimization. At each iteration, the GPS algorithm generates a set of directions that con...
