Relevance feedback, which traditionally uses the terms in the relevant documents to enrich the user's initial query, is an effective method for improving retrieval performanc...
Abstract: We investigate the structure of model selection problems via the bias/variance decomposition. In particular, we characterize the essential structure of a model selection ...
A template tracking approach to the segmentation of small 3D vessel structures is presented. The main contributions are a general formulation of a vessel template function and a m...
Sliding window classifiers are among the most successful and widely applied techniques for object localization. However, training is typically done in a way that is not specific to...
Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
