We introduce a learning algorithm for the weights in a very common class of discrimination functions usually called weighted average". Di erent submodules are produced by som...
Small-sample learning in image retrieval is a pertinent and interesting problem. Relevance feedback is an active area of research that seeks to find algorithms that are robust wi...
