The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is an acknowledged powerful tool for building classifiers, but it lacks flexibility, in the sense that the kernel is chosen prior to learning. Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) enables to learn the kernel, from an ensemble of ...
Computational models have played a central role in the debate over language learnability. This article discusses how they have been used in different stances, from generative views to more recently introduced explanatory frameworks based on embodiment, cog ...
We introduce a novel behavioral model to describe pedestrians motions, which is able to capture sophisticated motion patterns resulting from the mixture of different categories of random trajectories. Due to its simplicity, this model can be learned from v ...
In this paper, a novel statistical generative model to describe a face is presented, and is applied on the face authentication task. Classical generative models used so far in face recognition, such as Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and Hidden Markov Models ...
We present a discriminative online algorithm with a bounded memory growth, which is based on the kernel-based Perceptron. Generally, the required memory of the kernel-based Perceptron for storing the online hypothesis is not bounded. Previous work has been ...
This paper introduces a discriminative model for the retrieval of images from text queries. Our approach formalizes the retrieval task as a ranking problem, and introduces a learning procedure optimizing a criterion related to the ranking performance. The ...

We present a framework to automatically discover people's routines from information extracted by cell phones. The framework is built from a probabilistic topic model learned on novel bag type representations of activity-related cues (location, proximity an ...
