Learning to Order Things
There are many applications in which it is desirable to order rather than classify instances. Here we consider the problem of learning how to order, given feedback in the form of ...

Incorporating Test Inputs into Learning
In many applications, such as credit default prediction and medical image recognition, test inputs are available in addition to the labeled training examples. We propose a method ...

A Non-Parametric Multi-Scale Statistical Model for Natural Images
The observed distribution of natural images is far from uniform. On the contrary, real images have complex and important structure that can be exploited for image processing, reco...

Structure Driven Image Database Retrieval
A new algorithm is presented which approximates the perceived visual similarity between images. The images are initially transformed into a feature space which captures visual str...
