In many real-world applications, such as image retrieval, it would be natural to measure the distances from one instance to others using instance specific distance which captures ...
In this paper we study how to improve nearest neighbor classification by learning a Mahalanobis distance metric. We build on a recently proposed framework for distance metric lear...
Typical content-based image retrieval (CBIR) solutions with regular Euclidean metric usually cannot achieve satisfactory performance due to the semantic gap challenge. Hence, rele...
Head pose estimation is an important task for many face analysis applications, such as face recognition systems and human computer interactions. In this paper we aim to address the...
Personal ontology construction is the task of sorting through relevant materials, identifying the main topics and concepts, and organizing them to suit personal needs. Automatic c...
