Supervised and unsupervised discretization of continuous features
- in A. Prieditis & S. Russell, eds, Machine Learning: Proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference
, 1995
"... Many supervised machine learning algorithms require a discrete feature space. In this paper, we review previous work on continuous feature discretization, identify de n-ing characteristics of the methods, and conduct an empirical evaluation of several methods. We compare binning, an unsupervised dis ..."

Investigations into Uncertainty Decoding Employing a Discrete Feature Space for Noise Robust Automatic Speech Recognition
"... This paper addresses the robustness of automatic speech recognition to environmental noise. In order to account for reliability of the clean feature estimate we employ the feature posterior density conditioned on observed noisy features to perform uncertainty decoding. We investigate two approaches ..."

to estimate the posterior using a discrete feature space, first conditioning only on the current observation, and second on the whole feature sequence of an utterance. Experiments with Aurora 2 showed that the latter provides slightly better performance, as it allows for exploiting the temporal correlations
Mean shift: A robust approach toward feature space analysis
- In PAMI
, 2002
"... A general nonparametric technique is proposed for the analysis of a complex multimodal feature space and to delineate arbitrarily shaped clusters in it. The basic computational module of the technique is an old pattern recognition procedure, the mean shift. We prove for discrete data the convergence ..."

Wrappers for Feature Subset Selection
- AIJ SPECIAL ISSUE ON RELEVANCE
, 1997
"... In the feature subset selection problem, a learning algorithm is faced with the problem of selecting a relevant subset of features upon which to focus its attention, while ignoring the rest. To achieve the best possible performance with a particular learning algorithm on a particular training set, a ..."

Detection and Tracking of Point Features
- International Journal of Computer Vision
, 1991
"... The factorization method described in this series of reports requires an algorithm to track the motion of features in an image stream. Given the small inter-frame displacement made possible by the factorization approach, the best tracking method turns out to be the one proposed by Lucas and Kanade i ..."

Space-time Interest Points
- IN ICCV
, 2003
"... Local image features or interest points provide compact and abstract representations of patterns in an image. In this paper, we propose to extend the notion of spatial interest points into the spatio-temporal domain and show how the resulting features often reflect interesting events that can be use ..."

Actions as space-time shapes
- In ICCV
, 2005
"... Human action in video sequences can be seen as silhouettes of a moving torso and protruding limbs undergoing articulated motion. We regard human actions as three-dimensional shapes induced by the silhouettes in the space-time volume. We adopt a recent approach [14] for analyzing 2D shapes and genera ..."

and generalize it to deal with volumetric space-time action shapes. Our method utilizes properties of the solution to the Poisson equation to extract space-time features such as local space-time saliency, action dynamics, shape structure and orientation. We show that these features are useful for action
Irrelevant Features and the Subset Selection Problem
- MACHINE LEARNING: PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL
, 1994
"... We address the problem of finding a subset of features that allows a supervised induction algorithm to induce small high-accuracy concepts. We examine notions of relevance and irrelevance, and show that the definitions used in the machine learning literature do not adequately partition the features ..."

Convolution Kernels on Discrete Structures

The method can be applied iteratively to build a kernel on an infinite set from kernels involving generators of the set. The family of kernels generated generalizes the fa ..."
