The vast user-provided image tags on the popular photo sharing websites may greatly facilitate image retrieval and management. However, these tags are often imprecise and/or incom...
Neighbor search is a fundamental task in machine learning, especially in classification and retrieval. Efficient nearest neighbor search methods have been widely studied, with the...
When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
Abstract. This paper presents an automatic approach to mining collections of maps from the Web. Our method harvests images from the Web and then classifies them as maps or non-map...
We present a fast iterative support vector training algorithm for a large variety of different formulations. It works by incrementally changing a candidate support vector set usin...
