Due to the lack of annotated data sets, there are few studies on machine learning based approaches to extract named entities (NEs) in clinical text. The 2009 i2b2 NLP challenge is...
An original approach to represent 2D and 3D faces using Radial Geodesic Distances (RGDs) is proposed in this work. In 3D, the RGD of a generic point of the face surface is compute...

A linear programming technique is introduced that jointly performs feature selection and classifier training so that a subset of features is optimally selected together with the c...
In this paper we study face recognition across ages within a real passport photo verification task. First, we propose using the gradient orientation pyramid for this task. Discard...
We address the problem of integrating objects from a source taxonomy into a master taxonomy. This problem is not only currently pervasive on the web, but also important to the eme...
