Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold: The Bundled-SVM is Just Right!

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) typically outperforms other algorithms on text classification problems, but requires training time roughly quadratic in the number of training documents. In contrast, linear time algorithms like Naive Bayes have lower performance, but can easily handle huge training sets. In this paper, we describe a technique that creates a continuum of classifiers between the ...

Edges Are Not Just Steps

Images contain step edges, line features and many feature types that are somewhere between the two. Traditional gradient based edge operators are tuned to detect step edges, and hence are unable to properly detect and localize other feature types. The Phase Congruency detector is used as a tool to identify the different feature types found in images. It is shown that there is a continuum of fea...

It's not Just the Author: The Reader and the Editor Are Dead, Too

The world of academic publishing has changed significantly. In this short essay, I attempt to offer a few observations as the editor of an international journal, suggesting that we may need to have a more in-depth theoretical engagement with current publishing practices. This includes the diminishing role of editors, the nature of authorship and the related review process, and the ways in which...
