— We target the problem of predicting resource usage in situations where the modeling data is scarce, non-stationary, or expensive to obtain. This scenario occurs frequently in c...
Bid-based Genetic Programming (GP) provides an elegant mechanism for facilitating cooperative problem decomposition without an a priori specification of the number of team member...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
The performance of video analysis and indexing algorithms strongly depends on the type, content and recording characteristics of the analyzed video. Current video indexing approac...
We present an information theoretic approach for learning a linear dimension reduction transform for object classification. The theoretic guidance of the approach is that the trans...
