Kernels Part 1: What is an RBF Kernel? Really? Permalink

Published:

An intriguing article. To look at an RBF kernel as a low pass filter is something novel. It also basically shows why RBF kernels work brilliantly on high dimensional images. Given that your image features generally lie in a continuous domain, an RBF kernel generally can fit smooth solutions and thereby create more relevant separating hyperplanes,especially in case of multiple classes.

An Interesting History of Computer Vision Permalink

Published:

Dr. Fei Fei Li from Stanford discusses the advent and growth of computer vision in recent years. Particularly intersting is her recent research on multimodal interactions and large scale visual recognition. This has been primarily made possible due to the growth in GPU technology. I hope to try out Theano and Caffe for deep learning in this scenario soon. Read more

VLAD- An extension of Bag of Words

Published:

Recently, I was a participant at TagMe- an image categorization competition conducted by Microsoft and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The problem statement was to classify a set of given images into five classes: faces, shoes, flowers, buildings and vehicles. As it goes, it is not a trivial problem to solve. So, I decided to attempt my existing bag-of-words algorithm on that. It worked to an extent, I got an accuracy of 86% approximately with SIFT features and an RBF SVM for classification. In order to improve my score though, I decided to look at better methods of feature quantization. I had been looking at VLAD (Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors): A first order extension to BoW for my Leaf Recognition project. Read more

The Traveling Salesman Problem - Using Ant Algorithms

Published:

As I had promised, this post will be about using the Ant algorithms I had discussed in the previous post to solve a complex computational problem. But, before we go on, let us have a look again at Ant Colony optimization. Read more
