Classical data mining algorithms implicitly assume complete access to all data, either in centralized or federated form. However, privacy and security concerns often prevent sharin...
Acoustic events produced in controlled environments may carry information useful for perceptually aware interfaces. In this paper we focus on the problem of classifying 16 types o...
In this paper, a new kernel-based method for data visualization and dimensionality reduction is proposed. A reference point is considered corresponding to additional constraints ta...
An efficient method for face recognition which is robust under illumination variations is proposed. The proposed method achieves the illumination invariants based on the reflectan...
RankSVM (Herbrich et al, 2000; Joachims, 2002) is a pairwise method for designing ranking models. SVMLight is the only publicly available software for RankSVM. It is slow and, due ...
