Discrmininant Models for Text-independent Speaker Verification

This thesis addresses text-independent speaker verification from a machine learning point of view. We use the machine learning framework to better define the problem and to develop new unbiased performance measures and statistical tests to compare objectiv ...

Melanoma Recognition using Kernel Classifiers

Barbara Caputo, Tatiana Tommasi

Melanoma is the most deadly skin cancer. Early diagnosis is a current challenge for clinicians. Current algorithms for skin lesions classification focus mostly on segmentation and feature extraction. This paper instead puts the emphasis on the learning pro ...

Detecting Intentional Mental Transitions in an Asynchronous BCI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Pierre Ferrez

The inclusion of mental tasks transitions detection (MTTD) has proven a useful tool in guiding the transduction process of a BCI working under an asynchronous protocol. MTTD allows for the extraction of the signal's contextual information in order to infer ...

Distributed SVM applied to image classification

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

This paper proposes an algorithm for distributed classification, based on a SVM scheme. The contribution of each support vector is approximated by low complexity distributed thresholding over sub-dictionaries, whose union forms a redundant dictionary of at ...

A Kernel Classifier for Distributions

Samy Bengio, Alexei Pozdnoukhov

This paper presents a new algorithm for classifying distributions. The algorithm combines the principle of margin maximization and a kernel trick, applied to distributions. Thus, it combines the discriminative power of support vector machines and the well- ...

Application of the Evidence Framework to Brain-Computer Interfaces

Touradj Ebrahimi, Ulrich Hoffmann

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication system, that implements the principle of "think and make it happen without any physical effort". This means a BCI allows a user to act on his environment only by using his thoughts, without using peripher ...
