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 ...
Essentially all data mining algorithms assume that the datagenerating process is independent of the data miner's activities. However, in many domains, including spam detectio...

When constructing a classifier from labeled data, it is important not to assign too much weight to any single input feature, in order to increase the robustness of the classifier....
We describe a vision system that monitors activity in a site over extended periods of time. The system uses a distributed set of sensors to cover the site, and an adaptive tracker...
