In this paper, we propose an unsupervised approach to select representative face samples (models) from raw videos and build an appearance-based face recognition system. The approa...
Advanced Data Mining applications require more and more support from relational database engines. Especially clustering applications in high dimensional features space demand a pr...
We introduce a new image representation that encompasses both the general layout of groups of quantized local invariant descriptors as well as their relative frequency. A graph of...
A major hindrance to studies of microbial diversity has been that the vast majority of microbes cannot be cultured in the laboratory and thus are not amenable to traditional method...
We propose an Isometric Self-Organizing Map (ISOSOM) method for nonlinear dimensionality reduction, which integrates a Self-Organizing Map model and an ISOMAP dimension reduction ...
