Kernel machines (e.g. SVM, KLDA) have shown state-ofthe-art performance in several visual classification tasks. The classification performance of kernel machines greatly depends o...
This paper is focused on algorithmic issues for biometric face verification (i.e., given an image of the face and an identity claim, decide whether they correspond to each other o...

The Non-negative Matrix Factorization technique (NMF) has been recently proposed for dimensionality reduction. NMF is capable to produce a region- or partbased representation of o...

This paper considers a recently proposed method for unsupervised learning and dimensionality reduction, locally linear embedding (LLE). LLE computes a compact representation of hi...
Manifold Pursuit (MP) extends Principal Component Analysis to be invariant to a desired group of image-plane transformations of an ensemble of un-aligned images. We derive a simpl...
