Owing to the stochastic nature of discrete processes such as photon counts in imaging, real-world data measurements often exhibit heteroscedastic behavior. In particular, time ser...
We present a vision based, adaptive, decision theoretic model of human facial displays in interactions. The model is a partially observable Markov decision process, or POMDP. A POM...
Many real-world applications call for learning predictive relationships from multi-modal data. In particular, in multi-media and web applications, given a dataset of images and th...
Recently direct optimization of information retrieval (IR) measures becomes a new trend in learning to rank. Several methods have been proposed and the effectiveness of them has ...
Many multimedia applications rely on the computation of logarithms, for example, when estimating log-likelihoods for Gaussian Mixture Models. Knowing of the demand to compute loga...
