In recent years, Machine Learning based Computer Vision techniques made impressive progress. These algorithms proved particularly efficient for image classification or detection of isolated objects. From a probabilistic perspective, these methods can predi ...
Our brain continuously self-organizes to construct and maintain an internal representation of the world based on the information arriving through sensory stimuli. Remarkably, cortical areas related to different sensory modalities appear to share the same f ...
The main challenge of new information technologies is to retrieve intelligible information from the large volume of digital data gathered every day. Among the variety of existing data sources, the satellites continuously observing the surface of the Earth ...
The design and analysis of machine learning algorithms typically considers the problem of learning on a single task, and the nature of learning in such scenario is well explored. On the other hand, very often tasks faced by machine learning systems arrive ...
Recent advances in statistical learning and convex optimization have inspired many successful practices. Standard theories assume smoothness---bounded gradient, Hessian, etc.---and strong convexity of the loss function. Unfortunately, such conditions may ...
The minimization of empirical risks over finite sample sizes is an important problem in large-scale machine learning. A variety of algorithms has been proposed in the literature to alleviate the computational burden per iteration at the expense of converge ...
The interest for distributed stochastic optimization has raised to train complex Machine Learning models with more data on distributed systems. Increasing the computation power speeds up the training but it faces a communication bottleneck between workers ...
The training of molecular models of quantum mechanical properties based on statistical machine learning requires large data sets which exemplify the map from chemical structure to molecular property. Intelligent a priori selection of training examples is o ...
The aim of this study was to identify the best subset of body segments that provides for a rapid and reliable detection of the transition from steady walking to a slipping event. Fifteen healthy young subjects managed unexpected perturbations during walkin ...
Many medical image analysis tasks require complex learning strategies to reach a quality of image-based decision support that is sufficient in clinical practice. The analysis of medical texture in tomographic images, for example of lung tissue, is no excep ...
