Projects (2000-2005)
DotMuse -- Discovery Of Temporal structure from MUltimedia SEquences: This project deals with the problem of automatically discover repetitive structure from multimedia sequences using unsupervised learning. Further topics include feature selection, multi-modal integration, sparse event handling, etc.

Semi-supervised Learning of Patch Based Appearance Models. This work is concerned with learning object appearance from image patches under a semi-supervised scenario. Soccer! This project is concerned with the automatic identification of the important semantic states in domain-specific video using domain knowledge and suervised learning techniques, using soccer video as test data set.
