The main theme of this paper is to develop a novel eigenvalue optimization framework for learning a Mahalanobis metric. Within this context, we introduce a novel metric learning a...
—Modeling data with linear combinations of a few elements from a learned dictionary has been the focus of much recent research in machine learning, neuroscience, and signal proce...
We study unsupervised learning of occluding objects in images of visual scenes. The derived learning algorithm is based on a probabilistic generative model which parameterizes obj...
Active learning aims to reduce the amount of labels required for classification. The main difficulty is to find a good trade-off between exploration and exploitation of the lab...
To date, many active learning techniques have been developed for acquiring labels when training data is limited. However, an important aspect of the problem has often been neglect...
