Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) has been widely used to align and compare two sequences. DTW can efficiently deal with local warp or deformation between sequences. However, it can'...
SVM based image retrieval suffers from the scarcity of labelled samples. In this paper, this problem is solved by incorporating prior knowledge into SVM. Firstly, some prior knowl...
In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework for a new concept of scheduling called soft scheduling. In contrasts to the traditional schedulers referred as hard schedulers,...
We provide a framework to exploit dependencies among arms in multi-armed bandit problems, when the dependencies are in the form of a generative model on clusters of arms. We find ...
We present a discrete spectral framework for the sparse or cardinality-constrained solution of a generalized Rayleigh quotient. This NPhard combinatorial optimization problem is c...
