Automatic recognition of Dialog-act (DA) is one of the most important processes in understanding spontaneous dialog. Most existing studies have been working on how to use various ...
We investigate when sparse coding of sensory inputs can improve performance in a classification task. For this purpose, we use a standard data set, the MNIST database of handwritte...
In this paper, we propose a novel classification method, called nearest intra-class space (NICS), for face recognition. In our method, the distribution of face patterns of each pe...
There is a rapidly growing demand for using smart cameras for various biometric applications in surveillance. Although having a small form-factor, most of these applications deman...
We introduce a framework for face recognition at a distance based on sparse-stereo reconstruction. We develop a 3D acquisition system that consists of two CCD stereo cameras mount...
