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 ...
We derive an equivalence between AdaBoost and the dual of a convex optimization problem, showing that the only difference between minimizing the exponential loss used by AdaBoost ...
Abstract. In multispectral imaging systems, the accuracy of reflectance estimation can be degraded by the nonlinearity in imaging process, which is due to non-Gaussian distribution...
We describe a learning based method for recovering 3D human body pose from single images and monocular image sequences. Our approach requires neither an explicit body model nor pri...
This paper presents our solution for KDD Cup 2008 competition that aims at optimizing the area under ROC for breast cancer detection. We exploited weighted-based classification me...
