Learning models for detecting and classifying object categories is a challenging problem in machine vision. While discriminative approaches to learning and classification have, in...
Abstract. Combining statistical and relational learning receives currently a lot of attention. The majority of statistical relational learning approaches focus on density estimatio...
Distance-based methods in machine learning and pattern recognition have to rely on a metric distance between points in the input space. Instead of specifying a metric a priori, we...
One approach to improve the accuracy of classifications based on generative models is to combine them with successful discriminative algorithms. Fisher kernels were developed to c...
In this paper we consider a novel Bayesian interpretation of Fisher's discriminant analysis. We relate Rayleigh's coefficient to a noise model that minimises a cost base...
