Shaping functions can be used in multi-task reinforcement learning (RL) to incorporate knowledge from previously experienced tasks to speed up learning on a new task. So far, rese...
This paper presents an interactive video event retrieval system based on improved adaboost learning. This system consists of three main steps. Firstly, a long video sequence is pa...
Event detection is of great importance in high-level semantic indexing and selective browsing of video clips. However, the use of low-level visual-audio feature descriptors alone ...
