Sparse and Redundant Representations
A long long time ago, echoing philosophical and aesthetic principles that existed since antiquity, William of Ockham enounced the principle of parsimony, better known today as Ockham’s razor: “Entities should not be multiplied without neces sity. ” This principle enabled scientists to select the ”best” physical laws and theories to explain the workings of the Universe and continued to guide scienti?c research, leadingtobeautifulresultsliketheminimaldescriptionlength approachtostatistical inference and the related Kolmogorov complexity approach to pattern recognition. However, notions of complexity and description length are subjective concepts anddependonthelanguage“spoken”when...
Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
This volume consists of the 42 papers presented at the International Workshop on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (EMMCVPR2001),whichwasheldatINRIA(InstitutNationaldeRechercheen Informatique et en Automatique) in Sophia Antipolis, France, from September 3 through September 5, 2001. This workshop is the third of a series, which was started with EMMCVPR’97, held in Venice in May 1997, and continued with EMMCVR’99, which took place in York, in July 1999. Minimization problems and optimization methods permeate computer vision (CV), pattern recognition (PR), and many other ?elds of machine intelligence. The aim of the EMMCVPR workshops is to bring togethe...
Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, EMMCVPR 2003, held in Lisbon, Portugal in July 2003. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on unsupervised learning and matching, probabilistic modeling, segmentation and grouping, shape modeling, restoration and reconstruction, and graphs and graph-based methods.
Topics in Applied Analysis and Optimisation
This volume comprises selected, revised papers from the Joint CIM-WIAS Workshop, TAAO 2017, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in December 2017. The workshop brought together experts from research groups at the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin and mathematics centres in Portugal to present and discuss current scientific topics and to promote existing and future collaborations. The papers include the following topics: PDEs with applications to material sciences, thermodynamics and laser dynamics, scientific computing, nonlinear optimization and stochastic analysis.
Advances in Data Analysis
This book focuses on exploratory data analysis, learning of latent structures in datasets, and unscrambling of knowledge. Coverage details a broad range of methods from multivariate statistics, clustering and classification, visualization and scaling as well as from data and time series analysis. It provides new approaches for information retrieval and data mining and reports a host of challenging applications in various fields.
Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (XX)
Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE) provides an important method for assessing the condition of objects by observing the electromagnetic response to electric currents and/or magnetic fields introduced within them. Because it does not permanently alter the objects being tested, it is an invaluable tool for product evaluation, troubleshooting and research, and is employed in many fields from engineering and medicine to art. This volume presents selected papers from the International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE2016), held in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2016. This 21st edition of the workshop focused on the theoretical and application research into...
Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods
This book contains the extended and revised versions of a set of selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPRAM 2013), held in Barcelona, Spain, from 15 to 18 February, 2013. ICPRAM was organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and was held in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). The hallmark of this conference was to encourage theory and practice to meet in a single venue. The focus of the book is on contributions describing applications of Pattern Recognition techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights that advance Pattern Recognition methods.
Similarity-Based Pattern Analysis and Recognition
This accessible text/reference presents a coherent overview of the emerging field of non-Euclidean similarity learning. The book presents a broad range of perspectives on similarity-based pattern analysis and recognition methods, from purely theoretical challenges to practical, real-world applications. The coverage includes both supervised and unsupervised learning paradigms, as well as generative and discriminative models. Topics and features: explores the origination and causes of non-Euclidean (dis)similarity measures, and how they influence the performance of traditional classification algorithms; reviews similarity measures for non-vectorial data, considering both a “kernel tailoring” approach and a strategy for learning similarities directly from training data; describes various methods for “structure-preserving” embeddings of structured data; formulates classical pattern recognition problems from a purely game-theoretic perspective; examines two large-scale biomedical imaging applications.
Similarity-Based Pattern Recognition
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Similarity Based Pattern Recognition, SIMBAD 2011, held in Venice, Italy, in September 2011. The 16 full papers and 7 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The contributions are organized in topical sections on dissimilarity characterization and analysis; generative models of similarity data; graph-based and relational models; clustering and dissimilarity data; applications; spectral methods and embedding.
