We present a Modular Bilinear Disciminant Analysis (MBDA) approach for face recognition. A set of classifiers are trained independently on specific face regions, and different c...
A new direction in improving modern dialogue systems is to make a human-machine dialogue more similar to a human-human dialogue. This can be done by adding more input modalities, e...
In this paper, recognition of blurred faces using the recently introduced Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) operator is proposed. LPQ is based on quantizing the Fourier transform pha...

We explore the use of Wikipedia as external knowledge to improve named entity recognition (NER). Our method retrieves the corresponding Wikipedia entry for each candidate word seq...
This paper describes a new algorithm for the recognition of human activities. These activities are modelled using banks of switched dynamical models, each of which is tailored to ...
