Recent research has shown that speech can be sparsely represented using a dictionary of speech segments spanning multiple frames, exemplars, and that such a sparse representation ...
We present a new histogram distance family, the Quadratic-Chi (QC). QC members are Quadratic-Form distances with a cross-bin χ2 -like normalization. The cross-bin χ2 -like normal...
— This paper shows that the distributed representation found in Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) enables reinforcement learning methods to cope with a large decision search spa...
We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
A flexible multiscale and directional representation for images is proposed. The scheme combines directional filter banks with the Laplacian pyramid to provides a sparse represent...
