A large family of shape comparison methods is based on a medial axis transform combined with an encoding of the skeleton by a graph. Despite many qualities this encoding of shapes ...
The performance of a kernel-based learning algorithm depends very much on the choice of the kernel. Recently, much attention has been paid to the problem of learning the kernel it...

In this paper, a novel approach for contour-based 2D shape recognition is proposed, using a recently introduced class of information theoretic kernels. This kind of kernels, based...

Abstract. We propose a new string kernel based on variable-lengthdon't-care patterns (VLDC patterns). A VLDC pattern is an element of ({}) , where is an alphabet and is the ...
We consider the model selection problem for support vector machines applied to binary classification. As the data generating process is unknown, we have to rely on heuristics as mo...
