High dimensional structured data such as text and images is often poorly understood and misrepresented in statistical modeling. The standard histogram representation suffers from ...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
Abstract. The estimation of human age from face images is an interesting problem in computer vision. We proposed a general distance metric learning scheme for regression problems, ...
There is an increasing need for Internet hosts to be able to quickly and efficiently learn the distance, in terms of metrics such as latency or bandwidth, between Internet hosts. ...

One of the key problems in appearance-based vision is understanding how to use a set of labeled images to classify new images. Classification systems that can model human performa...
