This paper discusses local alignment kernels in the context of the relation extraction task. We define a local alignment kernel based on the Smith-Waterman measure as a sequence s...
Many state-of-the-art face recognition algorithms use image descriptors based on features known as Local Binary Patterns (LBPs). While many variations of LBP exist, so far none of ...
Class imbalance is a ubiquitous problem in supervised learning and has gained wide-scale attention in the literature. Perhaps the most prevalent solution is to apply sampling to t...
— Localization for low cost humanoid or animal-like personal robots has to rely on cheap sensors and has to be robust to user manipulations of the robot. We present a visual loca...
Segmentation of surgical devices in fluoroscopic images and in particular of guide-wires is a valuable element during surgery. In cardiac angioplasty, the problem is particularly ...
