This paper gives an algorithm for detecting and reading text in natural images. The algorithm is intended for use by blind and visually impaired subjects walking through city scen...
Many documents on the Web are formated in a weakly structured format. Because of their weak semantic and because of the heterogeneity of their formats, the information conveyed by...
We examine linear program (LP) approaches to boosting and demonstrate their efficient solution using LPBoost, a column generation based simplex method. We formulate the problem as...
