Item Open Access FAME: Face association through model evolution(IEEE, 2015-06) Gölge, Eren; Duygulu, PınarWe attack the problem of building classifiers for public faces from web images collected through querying a name. The search results are very noisy even after face detection, with several irrelevant faces corresponding to other people. Moreover, the photographs are taken in the wild with large variety in poses and expressions. We propose a novel method, Face Association through Model Evolution (FAME), that is able to prune the data in an iterative way, for the models associated to a name to evolve. The idea is based on capturing discriminative and representative properties of each instance and eliminating the outliers. The final models are used to classify faces on novel datasets with different characteristics. On benchmark datasets, our results are comparable to or better than the state-of-the-art studies for the task of face identification. © 2015 IEEE.Item Open Access Mining web images for concept learning(2014-08) Golge, ErenWe attack the problem of learning concepts automatically from noisy Web image search results. The idea is based on discovering common characteristics shared among category images by posing two novel methods that are able to organise the data while eliminating irrelevant instances. We propose a novel clustering and outlier detection method, namely Concept Map (CMAP). Given an image collection returned for a concept query, CMAP provides clusters pruned from outliers. Each cluster is used to train a model representing a different characteristics of the concept. One another method is Association through Model Evolution (AME). It prunes the data in an iterative manner and it progressively finds better set of images with an evaluational score computed for each iteration. The idea is based on capturing discriminativeness and representativeness of each instance against large number of random images and eliminating the outliers. The final model is used for classification of novel images. These two methods are applied on different benchmark problems and we observed compelling or better results compared to state of art methods.
