One of the fundamental problems in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been the gap between low-level visual features and high-level semantic concepts. To narrow down this gap...
—Many face recognition algorithms use “distance-based” methods: Feature vectors are extracted from each face and distances in feature space are compared to determine matches....

A reliable system for visual learning and recognition should enable a selective treatment of individual parts of input data and should successfully deal with noise and occlusions....
We consider the problem of learning with instances defined over a space of sets of vectors. We derive a new positive definite kernel f(A B) defined over pairs of matrices A B base...
The Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) model was introduced by 7) as a probabilistic re-formulation of the self-organizing map (SOM). It offers a number of advantages compared ...
