Abstract. Query-by-example and query-by-keyword both suffer from the problem of "aliasing," meaning that example-images and keywords potentially have variable interpretat...
A central problem in learning is selection of an appropriate model. This is typically done by estimating the unknown generalization errors of a set of models to be selected from a...
In this paper, we derive a data mining framework to analyze 3D features on human faces. The framework leverages kernel density estimators, genetic algorithm and an information com...
