This paper introduces the current developments of the SPIF (Syst`eme de Prototypage `a Implantation rapide et Faible coˆut) project. The goal of SPIF is to provide a low cost envi...
We derive an equivalence between AdaBoost and the dual of a convex optimization problem, showing that the only difference between minimizing the exponential loss used by AdaBoost ...
Software transactional memory (STM) guarantees that a transaction, consisting of a sequence of operations on the memory, appears to be executed atomically. In practice, it is impor...
This paper presents a method based on AdaBoost to identify the sex of a person from a low resolution grayscale picture of their face. The method described here is implemented in a...
Concentration inequalities that incorporate variance information (such as Bernstein's or Bennett's inequality) are often significantly tighter than counterparts (such as...
