We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
Given a set of numbers, the two-way partitioning problem is to divide them into two subsets, so that the sum of the numbers in each subset are as nearly equal as possible. The pro...

Bayesian approaches to supervised learning use priors on the classifier parameters. However, few priors aim at achieving "sparse" classifiers, where irrelevant/redundant...
