We propose a method to train a cascade of classifiers by simultaneously optimizing all its stages. The approach relies on the idea of optimizing soft cascades. In particular, inst...
—The problem of automatic and optimal design of embedded object detector cascades is considered. Two main challenges are identified: optimization of the cascade configuration and...
This paper presents a novel semisupervised learning algorithm called Active Deep Networks (ADN), to address the semi-supervised sentiment classification problem with active learni...
In reinforcement learning, it is a common practice to map the state(-action) space to a different one using basis functions. This transformation aims to represent the input data i...
Basic combinational gates, including NAND, NOR and XOR, are fundamental building blocks in CMOS digital circuits. This paper analyses and compares the power consumption due to tran...
