In this work, we present a technique that learns discriminative audio features for Music Information Retrieval (MIR). The novelty of the proposed technique is to design auto-encoders that make use of data structures to learn enhanced sparse data representa ...
As the field of bioimage informatics matures, the issue of the validation of image reconstruction algorithms and the definition of proper performance criteria becomes more pressing. In this work, we discuss benchmarking aspects of fluorescence microscopy q ...
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a powerful tool capable of providing spatially localized maps of metabolite concentrations. Its utility, however, is often depreciated by spectral leakage artifacts resulting from low spatial resolution me ...

Text detection and recognition in natural images are popular yet unsolved problems in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a technique that attempts to detect and recognize text in a unified manner by searching for words directly without reducing the ...
In many real world applications we do not have access to fully-labeled training data, but only to a list of possible labels. This is the case, e.g., when learning visual classifiers from images downloaded from the web, using just their text captions or tag ...

The principal objective of this thesis is to investigate approaches toward a robust automatic face authentication (AFA) system in weakly constrained environments. In this context, we develop new algorithms based on local features and generative models. In ...
It has been shown previously that systems based on local features and relatively complex generative models, namely 1D Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and pseudo-2D HMMs, are suitable for face recognition (here we mean both identification and verification). Rec ...
An innovative way of animating actors at a high level based on the concept of synthetic vision is presented. The objective is simple: to create an animation involving a synthetic actor automatically moving in a corridor avoiding objects and other synthetic ...
