Action recognition in the premotor cortex

by Vittorio Gallese, Luciano Fadiga, Leonardo Fogassi, Giacomo Rizzolatti - Brain , 1996
"... We recorded electrical activity from 532 neurons in the rostral part of inferior area 6 (area F5) of two macaque monkeys. Previous data had shown that neurons of this area discharge during goal-directed hand and mouth movements. We describe here the properties of a newly discovered set of F5 neurons ..."

of the way in which that action was executed (e.g. precision grip). We conclude by proposing that mirror neurons form a system for matching observation and execution of motor actions. We discuss the possible role of this system in action recognition and, given the proposed homology between F5 and human

Modern Information Retrieval

by Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Berthier Ribeiro-Neto , 1999
"... Information retrieval (IR) has changed considerably in the last years with the expansion of the Web (World Wide Web) and the advent of modern and inexpensive graphical user interfaces and mass storage devices. As a result, traditional IR textbooks have become quite out-of-date which has led to the i ..."

Scalable Recognition with a Vocabulary Tree

by David Nistér, Henrik Stewénius - IN CVPR , 2006
"... A recognition scheme that scales efficiently to a large number of objects is presented. The efficiency and quality is exhibited in a live demonstration that recognizes CD-covers from a database of 40000 images of popular music CD's. The scheme ..."

Face Recognition: A Literature Survey

by W. Zhao, R. Chellappa, P. J. Phillips, A. Rosenfeld , 2000
"... ... This paper provides an up-to-date critical survey of still- and video-based face recognition research. There are two underlying motivations for us to write this survey paper: the first is to provide an up-to-date review of the existing literature, and the second is to offer some insights into ..."

A Language Modeling Approach to Information Retrieval

by Jay M. Ponte, W. Bruce Croft , 1998
"... Models of document indexing and document retrieval have been extensively studied. The integration of these two classes of models has been the goal of several researchers but it is a very difficult problem. We argue that much of the reason for this is the lack of an adequate indexing model. This sugg ..."

Pivoted Document Length Normalization

by Amit Singhal, Chris Buckley, Mandar Mitra - SIGIR'96 , 1996
"... Automatic information retrieval systems have to deal with documents of varying lengths in a text collection. Document length normalization is used to fairly retrieve documents of all lengths. In this study, we ohserve that a normalization scheme that retrieves documents of all lengths with similar c ..."

Naive (Bayes) at Forty: The Independence Assumption in Information Retrieval

by David D. Lewis , 1998
"... The naive Bayes classifier, currently experiencing a renaissance in machine learning, has long been a core technique in information retrieval. We review some of the variations of naive Bayes models used for text retrieval and classification, focusing on the distributional assump- tions made abou ..."

Term-weighting approaches in automatic text retrieval

by Gerard Salton, Christopher Buckley - INFORMATION PROCESSING AND MANAGEMENT , 1988
"... The experimental evidence accumulated over the past 20 years indicates that text indexing systems based on the assignment of appropriately weighted single terms produce retrieval results that are superior to those obtainable with other more elaborate text representations. These results depend crucia ..."
