This paper describes and analyzes the aggregation pheromone system (APS) algorithm, which extends ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. APS uses the collective behav...
We present a discriminative training algorithm, that uses support vector machines (SVMs), to improve the classification of discrete and continuous output probability hidden Markov ...
In this paper, we propose a novel transductive learning framework named manifold-ranking based image retrieval (MRBIR). Given a query image, MRBIR first makes use of a manifold ra...
This paper presents a new method for evaluating boolean set operations between Binary Space Partition (BSP) trees. Our algorithm has many desirable features including both numeric...
The problem of automatically classifying the gender of a blog author has important applications in many commercial domains. Existing systems mainly use features such as words, wor...
