This work presents a kernel method for clustering the nodes of a weighted, undirected, graph. The algorithm is based on a two-step procedure. First, the sigmoid commute-time kernel...
Abstract. Context plays an important role in general scene perception. In particular, it can provide cues about an object’s location within an image. In computer vision, object d...
Robust face detection presents a difficult problem in real interaction scenarios, that, in order to achieve, most often requires employing additional sources of information. In t...

One of the major problem in face authentication systems is to deal with variations in illumination. In a realistic scenario, it is very likely that the lighting conditions of the ...
Choosing an appropriate kernel is one of the key problems in kernel-based methods. Most existing kernel selection methods require that the class labels of the training examples ar...
