We investigate when sparse coding of sensory inputs can improve performance in a classification task. For this purpose, we use a standard data set, the MNIST database of handwritte...
Instance selection and feature selection are two orthogonal methods for reducing the amount and complexity of data. Feature selection aims at the reduction of redundant features i...
In this paper, we propose a novel appearance-based representation, called Structured Ordinal Feature (SOF). SOF is a binary string encoded by combining eight ordinal blocks in a ci...

In this work we present the computational algorithm that combines perceptual and cognitive information during the visual search for object features. The algorithm is initially driv...
Kernel descriptors provide a unified way to generate rich visual feature sets by turning pixel attributes into patch-level features, and yield impressive results on many object rec...
