The usefulness of the hit-miss transform (HMT) and related transforms for pattern matching in document image applications is examined. Although the HMT is sensitive to the types o...
We describe and analyze an online algorithm for supervised learning of pseudo-metrics. The algorithm receives pairs of instances and predicts their similarity according to a pseud...
