One of the nice properties of kernel classifiers such as SVMs is that they often produce sparse solutions. However, the decision functions of these classifiers cannot always be u...
We introduce a method to accelerate the evaluation of object detection cascades with the help of a divide-andconquer procedure in the space of candidate regions. Compared to the e...
This paper addresses the recognition of elderly callers based on short and narrow-band utterances, which are typical for Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems. Our study is bas...

Support vector machines are trained by solving constrained quadratic optimization problems. This is usually done with an iterative decomposition algorithm operating on a small wor...
We present a novel human action recognition system based on segmented skeletal features which are separated into several human body parts such as face, torso and limbs. Our propos...
