Facial expression modeling is central to facial expression recognition and expression synthesis for facial animation. Previous works reported that modeling the facial expression wi...
Inferring 3D body pose as well as viewpoint from a single silhouette image is a challenging problem. We present a new generative model to represent shape deformations according to...
A natural representation of data is given by the parameters which generated the data. If the space of parameters is continuous, then we can regard it as a manifold. In practice, w...
Discovering local geometry of low-dimensional manifold embedded into a high-dimensional space has been widely studied in the literature of machine learning. Counter-intuitively, w...
The SGD-QN algorithm described in (Bordes et al., 2009) contains a subtle flaw that prevents it from reaching its design goals. Yet the flawed SGD-QN algorithm has worked well eno...
