We analyze the usage of Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) as local descriptors for face recognition. The effect of different feature extraction and viewpoint consistency constrained matching approaches are analyzed. F...

In this paper we present a novel transliteration technique which is based on deep belief networks. Common approaches use finite state machines or other methods similar to conventional machine translation. Instead of u...

We show how the integration of an extended lexicon model into the decoder can improve translation performance. The model is based on lexical triggers that capture long-distance dependencies on the sentence level. The ...
We present a writer adaptive training and writer clustering approach for an HMM based Arabic handwriting recognition system to handle different handwriting styles and their variations. Additionally, a writing variant ...

Determining similar objects is a fundamental operation both in data mining tasks such as clustering and in query-driven object retrieval. By definition of similarity search, query objects can only be imprecise descriptions of what users are looking for in a database, and even high-quality similarity measures can only be approximations of the users' notion of similarity. To overcome these shortcomings, iterative query refinement systems have been proposed. They utilize user feedback regarding the relevance of intermediate results to adapt the query object and/or the similarity measure. We propose an optimization-based relevance feedback approach for adaptable distance measures - focusing on the Earth Mover's Distance. Our technique enables quicker iterative database exploration as shown by our experiments. Copyright 2009 ACM.
In this paper, we deal with the problem of a large number of unaligned words in automatically learned word alignments for machine translation (MT). These unaligned words are the reason for ambiguous phrase pairs extra...
