In this paper we propose a new method to automatically select the rank of linear transforms during supervised learning. Our approach relies on a sparsity-enforcing element-wise soft-thresholding operation applied after the linear transform. This novel approach to supervised rank learning has the important advantage that it is very simple to implement and incurs no extra complexity relative to linear...
Image retrieval in large image databases is an important problem that drives a number of applications. Yet the use of supervised approaches that address this problem has been limited due to the lack of large labeled datasets for training. Hence, in this paper we introduce two new datasets composed of images extracted from publicly available videos from the Cable News Network (CNN). The proposed datasets...
Light field imaging is recently made available to the mass market by Lytro and Raytrix commercial cameras. Thanks to a grid of microlenses put in front of the sensor, a plenoptic camera simultaneously captures several images of the scene under different viewing angles, providing an enormous advantage for post-capture applications, e.g., depth estimation and image refocusing. In this paper, we propose...
Comparing “face tubes” is a key component of modern systems for face biometrics based video analysis and annotation. We present a novel algorithm to learn a distance metric between such spatio-temporal face tubes in videos. The main novelty in the algorithm is based on incorporation of latent variables in a max-margin metric learning framework. The latent formulation allows us to model, and learn...
