This special issue describes a number of applications that utilize lifelike characters that teach indirectly, by playing some role in a social interaction with a user. The design ...
State-of-the-art approaches for detecting filament-like
structures in noisy images rely on filters optimized for signals
of a particular shape, such as an ideal edge or ridge.

We present a method to learn models of human heads for the purpose of detection from different viewing angles. We focus on a model where objects are represented as constellations ...
An important issue in reinforcement learning is how to incorporate expert knowledge in a principled manner, especially as we scale up to real-world tasks. In this paper, we presen...

We describe how to teach deformable models to maximize image segmentation correctness based on user-specified criteria, and we present a method for evaluating which criteria work ...
