Transfer Learning through Greedy Subset Selection

Barbara Caputo, Ilja Kuzborskij

In this work we study the binary transfer learning problem involving 10^2 -10^3 sources. We focus on how to select sources from the large pool and how to combine them to yield a good performance on a target task. In particular, we consider the transfer lea ...

Learning to Detect Objects with Minimal Supervision

Karim Ali

Many classes of objects can now be successfully detected with statistical machine learning techniques. Faces, cars and pedestrians, have all been detected with low error rates by learning their appearance in a highly generic manner from extensive training ...

Transfer Learning by Sharing Support Vectors

Pascal Fua, Carlos Joaquin Becker, Vitaly Henry Ablavsky

Machine Learning techniques play an increasingly vital role in the analysis of Biomedical imagery, as in all other areas of Computer Vision. However, in this specific context, they suffer from the fact that experimental conditions and protocols change ofte ...

Leveraging over prior knowledge for online learning of visual categories

Barbara Caputo, Tatiana Tommasi, Mohsen Kaboli

Open ended learning is a dynamic process based on the continuous analysis of new data, guided by past experience. On one side it is helpful to take advantage of prior knowledge when only few information on a new task is available (transfer learning). On th ...

Multiclass Transfer Learning from Unconstrained Priors

Barbara Caputo, Jie Luo, Tatiana Tommasi

The vast majority of transfer learning methods proposed in the visual recognition domain over the last years ad- dresses the problem of object category detection, assuming a strong control over the priors from which transfer is done. This is a strict condi ...

Joint Pose Estimator and Feature Learning for Object Detection

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Karim Ali, David Hasler

A new learning strategy for object detection is presented. The proposed scheme forgoes the need to train a collection of detectors dedicated to homogeneous families of poses, and instead learns a single classifier that has the inherent ability to deform ba ...

Machine Learning for Information Retrieval

David Grangier

In this thesis, we explore the use of machine learning techniques for information retrieval. More specifically, we focus on ad-hoc retrieval, which is concerned with searching large corpora to identify the documents relevant to user queries. This identific ...

Mixture models for unsupervised and supervised learning

In a society which produces and consumes an ever increasing amount of information, methods which can make sense out of al1 this data become of crucial importance. Machine learning tries to develop models which can make the information load accessible. Thre ...
