In this paper, a novel approach for contour-based 2D shape recognition is proposed, using a recently introduced class of information theoretic kernels. This kind of kernels, based...

In this paper we introduce a new sparseness inducing prior which does not involve any (hyper)parameters that need to be adjusted or estimated. Although other applications are poss...
One commonly used approach for language recognition is to convert the input speech into a sequence of tokens such as words or phones and then to use these token sequences to deter...
We propose a simple mechanism for incorporating advice (prior knowledge), in the form of simple rules, into support-vector methods for both classification and regression. Our appr...
