Riassunto

This ground-breaking text/reference divergesfrom the traditional view that computer vision (for image analysis) and stringprocessing (for text mining) are separate and unrelated fields of study,propounding that images and text can be treated in a similar manner for thepurposes of information retrieval, extraction and classification. Highlightingthe benefits of knowledge transfer between the two disciplines, the textpresents a range of novel similarity-based learning (SBL) techniques founded onthis approach. Topics and features: describes a variety of SBL approaches,including nearest neighbor models, local learning, kernel methods, andclustering algorithms; presents a nearest neighbor model based on a noveldissimilarity for images; discusses a novel kernel for (visual) wordhistograms, as well as several kernels based on a pyramid representation; introducesan approach based on string kernels for native language identification; containslinks for downloading relevant open source code.

This ground-breaking text/reference diverges from thetraditional view that computer vision (for image analysis) and stringprocessing (for text mining) are separate and unrelated fields of study,propounding that images and text can be treated in a similar manner for thepurposes of information retrieval, extraction and classification. Highlightingthe benefits of knowledge transfer between the two disciplines, the textpresents a range of novel similarity-based learning techniques founded on thisapproach.

Topics and features:

• Describes avariety of similarity-based learning approaches, including nearest neighbormodels, local learning, kernel methods, and clustering algorithms
• Presents anearest neighbor model based on a novel dissimilarity for images, and appliesthis for handwritten digit recognition and texture analysis
• Discusses anovel kernel for (visual) word histograms, as well as several kernels based on pyramid representation, and uses these for facial expression recognition andtext categorization by topic
• Introduces anapproach based on string kernels for native language identification
• Contains linksfor downloading relevant open source code
• With a forewordby Prof. Florentina Hristea

This unique work will be of great benefit toresearchers, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students involved inmachine learning, data science, text mining and computer vision.
