Computing semantic relatedness using Wikipedia-based explicit semantic analysis
- In Proceedings of the 20th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
, 2007
"... Computing semantic relatedness of natural language texts requires access to vast amounts of common-sense and domain-specific world knowledge. We propose Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA), a novel method that represents the meaning of texts in a high-dimensional space of concepts derived from Wikipedi ..."

Wikipedia. We use machine learning techniques to explicitly represent the meaning of any text as a weighted vector of Wikipedia-based concepts. Assessing the relatedness of texts in this space amounts to comparing the corresponding vectors using conventional metrics (e.g., cosine). Compared
Semantic similarity based on corpus statistics and lexical taxonomy
- Proc of 10th International Conference on Research in Computational Linguistics, ROCLING’97
, 1997
"... This paper presents a new approach for measuring semantic similarity/distance between words and concepts. It combines a lexical taxonomy structure with corpus statistical information so that the semantic distance between nodes in the semantic space constructed by the taxonomy can be better quantifie ..."

Local features and kernels for classification of texture and object categories: a comprehensive study
- International Journal of Computer Vision
, 2007
"... Recently, methods based on local image features have shown promise for texture and object recognition tasks. This paper presents a large-scale evaluation of an approach that represents images as distributions (signatures or histograms) of features extracted from a sparse set of keypoint locations an ..."

and learns a Support Vector Machine classifier with kernels based on two effective measures for comparing distributions, the Earth Mover’s Distance and the χ 2 distance. We first evaluate the performance of our approach with different keypoint detectors and descriptors, as well as different kernels
Features of similarity.
- Psychological Review
, 1977
"... Similarity plays a fundamental role in theories of knowledge and behavior. It serves as an organizing principle by which individuals classify objects, form concepts, and make generalizations. Indeed, the concept of similarity is ubiquitous in psychological theory. It underlies the accounts of stimu ..."

, errors of substitution, and correlation between occurrences. Analyses of these data attempt to explain the observed similarity relations and to capture the underlying structure of the objects under study. The theoretical analysis of similarity relations has been dominated by geometric models
Distortion invariant object recognition in the dynamic link architecture
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS
, 1993
"... We present an object recognition system based on the Dynamic Link Architecture, which is an extension to classical Artificial Neural Networks. The Dynamic Link Architecture ex-ploits correlations in the fine-scale temporal structure of cellular signals in order to group neurons dynamically into hig ..."

Iterative point matching for registration of free-form curves and surfaces
, 1994
"... A heuristic method has been developed for registering two sets of 3-D curves obtained by using an edge-based stereo system, or two dense 3-D maps obtained by using a correlation-based stereo system. Geometric matching in general is a difficult unsolved problem in computer vision. Fortunately, in ma ..."

Multipoint quantitative-trait linkage analysis in general pedigrees
- Am. J. Hum. Genet
, 1998
"... Multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) has previously been restricted to sibships and small pedigrees. In this article, we show how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and we develop a general framework for multipoint i ..."

chromosome for each relative pair. We have derived correlations in IBD sharing as a function of chromosomal distance for relative pairs in general pedigrees and provide a simple framework whereby these correlations can be easily obtained for any relative pair related by a single line of descent
Similarity estimation techniques from rounding algorithms
- In Proc. of 34th STOC
, 2002
"... A locality sensitive hashing scheme is a distribution on a family F of hash functions operating on a collection of objects, such that for two objects x, y, Prh∈F[h(x) = h(y)] = sim(x,y), where sim(x,y) ∈ [0, 1] is some similarity function defined on the collection of objects. Such a scheme leads ..."

. Based on this insight, we construct new locality sensitive hashing schemes for: 1. A collection of vectors with the distance between ⃗u and ⃗v measured by θ(⃗u,⃗v)/π, where θ(⃗u,⃗v) is the angle between ⃗u and ⃗v. This yields a sketching scheme for estimating the cosine similarity measure between two
Fitness Distance Correlation as a Measure of Problem Difficulty for Genetic Algorithms

In many cases, this correlation can be used to predict the performance of a GA on problems with known global maxima. It correctly classifies easy deceptiv ..."

Front End Factor Analysis for Speaker Verification
- IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing
, 2010
"... Abstract—This paper presents an extension of our previous work which proposes a new speaker representation for speaker verification. In this modeling, a new low-dimensional speaker- and channel-dependent space is defined using a simple factor analysis. This space is named the total variability space ..."

results are obtained when LDA is followed by WCCN. We achieved an equal error rate (EER) of 1.12 % and MinDCF of 0.0094 using the cosine distance scoring on the male English trials of the core condition of the NIST 2008 Speaker Recognition Evaluation dataset. We also obtained 4 % absolute EER improvement
