We study the problem of discovering a manifold that best preserves information relevant to a nonlinear regression. Solving this problem involves extending and uniting two threads ...
In this paper, we address the scalability issue plaguing graph-based semi-supervised learning via a small number of anchor points which adequately cover the entire point cloud. Cr...
A good distance metric is crucial for unsupervised learning from high-dimensional data. To learn a metric without any constraint or class label information, most unsupervised metr...
We present a manifold learning approach to dimensionality
reduction that explicitly models the manifold as a mapping
from low to high dimensional space. The manifold is
represen...
We present a new algorithm to detect humans in still images utilizing covariance matrices as object descriptors. Since these descriptors do not lie on a vector space, well known m...
