We present a method which uses example pairs of equal or unequal class labels to select a subspace with near optimal metric properties in a kernel-induced Hilbert space. A represen...
In accessing large collections of digitized videos, it is often difficult to find both the appropriate video file and the portion of the video that is of interest. This paper descr...
Question Answering (QA) aims at providing users with short text units that answer specific, well-formed natural language questions. A two stage architecture is widely adopted for t...
