Configurations of dense locally parallel 3D curves occur in medical imaging, computer vision and graphics. Examples include white matter fibre tracts, textures, fur and hair. We d...
We present a supervised classification model based on a variational approach. This model is specifically devoted to textured images. We want to get a partition of an image, compos...
A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
Abstract. We consider the problem of efficient approximate learning by multilayered feedforward circuits subject to two objective functions. First, we consider the objective to ma...
