In this paper we develop a novel contrast-invariant appearance detection model. The goal is to classify object-specific images (e.g. face images) from generic background patches. ...
In this paper, the rare event detection issue in video event detection is addressed through the proposed data mining framework which can be generalized to be domain independent. T...
We present a probabilistic model for clustering of objects represented via pairwise dissimilarities. We propose that even if an underlying vectorial representation exists, it is b...

In this paper, we analyze the redundancy in calculating all pairs of geodesic distances on a rectangular grid. Fast marching method is an efficient way to estimate the geodesic di...
Distance function computation is a key subtask in many data mining algorithms and applications. The most effective form of the distance function can only be expressed in the conte...
