We propose a nonparametric extension to the factor analysis problem using a beta process prior. This beta process factor analysis (BPFA) model allows for a dataset to be decompose...
Complex human activities occurring in videos can be defined in terms of temporal configurations of primitive actions. Prior work typically hand-picks the primitives, their total...
Abstract. Active learning refers to the task of devising a ranking function that, given a classifier trained from relatively few training examples, ranks a set of additional unlabe...
Abstract. Learning ranking functions is crucial for solving many problems, ranging from document retrieval to building recommendation systems based on an individual user’s prefer...
Active learning and crowdsourcing are promising ways to efficiently build up training sets for object recognition, but thus far techniques are tested in artificially controlled ...
