K-SVD: An Algorithm for Designing Overcomplete Dictionaries for Sparse Representation
, 2006
"... In recent years there has been a growing interest in the study of sparse representation of signals. Using an overcomplete dictionary that contains prototype signal-atoms, signals are described by sparse linear combinations of these atoms. Applications that use sparse representation are many and inc ..."

signal representations. Given a set of training signals, we seek the dictionary that leads to the best representation for each member in this set, under strict sparsity constraints. We present a new method—the K-SVD algorithm—generalizing the u-means clustering process. K-SVD is an iterative method
Manifold regularization: A geometric framework for learning from labeled and unlabeled examples
- JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH
, 2006
"... We propose a family of learning algorithms based on a new form of regularization that allows us to exploit the geometry of the marginal distribution. We focus on a semi-supervised framework that incorporates labeled and unlabeled data in a general-purpose learner. Some transductive graph learning al ..."

Face recognition using laplacianfaces
- IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 2005
"... Abstract—We propose an appearance-based face recognition method called the Laplacianface approach. By using Locality Preserving Projections (LPP), the face images are mapped into a face subspace for analysis. Different from Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) wh ..."

Experimental results suggest that the proposed Laplacianface approach provides a better representation and achieves lower error rates in face recognition.

Incremental Learning for Robust Visual Tracking
, 2008
"... Visual tracking, in essence, deals with nonstationary image streams that change over time. While most existing algorithms are able to track objects well in controlled environments, they usually fail in the presence of significant variation of the object’s appearance or surrounding illumination. On ..."

Integrating Constraints and Metric Learning in Semi-Supervised Clustering
- In ICML
, 2004
"... Semi-supervised clustering employs a small amount of labeled data to aid unsupervised learning. Previous work in the area has utilized supervised data in one of two approaches: 1) constraint-based methods that guide the clustering algorithm towards a better grouping of the data, and 2) distanc ..."

LexRank: Graph-based lexical centrality as salience in text summarization
- Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
, 2004
"... We introduce a stochastic graph-based method for computing relative importance of textual units for Natural Language Processing. We test the technique on the problem of Text Summarization (TS). Extractive TS relies on the concept of sentence salience to identify the most important sentences in a doc ..."

a detailed analysis of our approach and apply it to a larger data set including data from earlier DUC evaluations. We discuss several methods to compute centrality using the similarity graph. The results show that degree-based methods (including LexRank) outperform both centroid-based methods

"... Kernel based methods are increasingly being used for data modeling because of their conceptual simplicity and outstanding performance on many tasks. However, the kernel function is often chosen using trial-and-error heuristics. In this paper we address the problem of measuring the degree of agreem ..."

Proximity graphs for clustering and manifold learning

"... Many machine learning algorithms for clustering or dimensionality reduction take as input a cloud of points in Euclidean space, and construct a graph with the input data points as vertices. This graph is then partitioned (clustering) or used to redefine metric information (dimensionality reduction). ..."

Towards a Theoretical Foundation for Laplacian-Based Manifold Methods

"... In recent years manifold methods have attracted a considerable amount of attention in machine learning. However most algorithms in that class may be termed “manifold-motivated” as they lack any explicit theoretical guarantees. In this paper we take a step towards closing the gap between theory and p ..."

We show that under certain conditions the graph Laplacian of a point cloud of data samples
