In Minimum Error Rate Training (MERT), BLEU is often used as the error function, despite the fact that it has been shown to have a lower correlation with human judgment than other...
In an important paper, Burer [2] recently showed how to reformulate general mixed-binary quadratic optimization problems (QPs) into copositive programs where a linear functional i...
We introduce a novel skeleton extraction algorithm in binary and gray-scale images, based on the anisotropic heat diffusion analogy. We propose to diffuse image in the dominance o...
Convolution operator is a linear operator characterized by a point spread functions (PSF). In classical image restoration problems, the blur is usually shift invariant and so the ...
We present a regression-based scheme for multi-view facial expression recognition based on 2-D geometric features. We address the problem by mapping facial points (e.g. mouth corn...
