We develop a pairwise classification framework for face recognition, in which a class face recognition problem is divided into a set of ? ?? ? two class problems. Such a problem...
In this paper we propose a novel approach to feature enhancement to enhance the quality of noisy images. Our approach is based on a phase-based feature detection algorithm, followe...
Recently, instead of selecting a single kernel, multiple kernel learning (MKL) has been proposed which uses a convex combination of kernels, where the weight of each kernel is opt...
The conditional distribution of a discrete variable y, given another discrete variable x, is often specified by assigning one multinomial distribution to each state of x. The cost...
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...
