We describe a new approach for phoneme recognition which aims at minimizing the phoneme error rate. Building on structured prediction techniques, we formulate the phoneme recogniz...
In this paper, we propose a novel shape representation we call Directional Histogram Model (DHM). It captures the shape variation of an object and is invariant to scaling and rigi...

This paper presents a computational model that segments images based on the textural properties of object surfaces. The proposed Coupled-Membrane model applies the weak membrane ap...
Photometric invariance is a desired property for color image descriptors. It ensures that the description has a certain robustness with respect to scene incidental variations such...
Recent empirical work has shown that combining predictors can lead to significant reduction in generalization error. The individual predictors (weak learners) can be very simple, ...
