Stochastic relational models (SRMs) [15] provide a rich family of choices for learning and predicting dyadic data between two sets of entities. The models generalize matrix factor...
This paper presents a stagewise least square (SLS) loss function for classification. It uses a least square form within each stage to approximate a bounded monotonic nonconvex los...
We introduce the notion of restricted Bayes optimal classifiers. These classifiers attempt to combine the flexibility of the generative approach to classification with the high ac...
This paper reports our experiments on the concept detection task of TRECVID 2007. In these experiments, we have addressed two approaches which are selecting and fusing features and...
Automatic age estimation from facial images has aroused research interests in recent years due to its promising potential for some computer vision applications. Among the methods ...
