We investigate the problem of learning optimal descriptors for a given classification task. Many hand-crafted descriptors have been proposed in the literature for measuring visua...
In this paper, we present a novel semidefinite programming approach for multiple-instance learning. We first formulate the multipleinstance learning as a combinatorial maximum marg...
