In case the objective function to be minimized is not known analytically and no assumption can be made about the single extremum, global optimization (GO) methods must be used. Pap...
Recent works in object recognition often use visual words, i.e. vector quantized local descriptors extracted from the images. In this paper we present a novel method to build such ...
In situations where class labels are known for a part of the objects, a cluster analysis respecting this information, i.e. semi-supervised clustering, can give insight into the cl...
There is an ever increasing number of electronic documents available today and the task of organizing and categorizing this ever growing corpus of electronic documents has become t...
Recent advances in high-speed networks, rapid improvements in microprocessor design, and availability of highly performing clustering software implementations enables cost-effecti...
