The detection of faces in images is fundamentally a rare event detection problem. Cascade classifiers provide an efficient computational solution, by leveraging the asymmetry in t...
In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
In this paper we consider sampling based fitted value iteration for discounted, large (possibly infinite) state space, finite action Markovian Decision Problems where only a gener...
Adaptive sparse coding methods learn a possibly overcomplete set of basis functions, such that natural image patches can be reconstructed by linearly combining a small subset of t...
A new tracker is presented. Two sets are identified: one which contains all possible curves as found in the image, and a second which contains all curves which characterize the o...
