This paper presents a stagewise least square (SLS) loss function for classification. It uses a least square form within each stage to approximate a bounded monotonic nonconvex los...
A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
Semi-supervised classification uses aspects of both unsupervised and supervised learning to improve upon the performance of traditional classification methods. Semi-supervised clu...
This work addresses the soundtrack indexing of multimedia documents. We present and merge two audio classification tools that we have developed. The first one, a speech music clas...
This paper describes a text chunking system based on a generalization of the Winnow algorithm. We propose a general statistical model for text chunking which we then convert into ...
