COMPRESSING FISHER VECTOR FOR ROBUST FACE RECOGNITION

Compressing Fisher Vector for Robust Face Recognition

One T-Shirts major topic for robust face recognition could be the efficient encoding of facial descriptors.Among various encoders, Fisher vector (FV) is one of the probabilistic methods that yield promising results.However, its huge representation is fairly forbidding.In this paper, we present approaches to efficiently compress FV and retain its ro

Resolving repeat families with long reads

Abstract Background Draft quality genomes for a multitude of organisms have become common due to the advancement of genome assemblers using long-read technologies with high error rates.Although current assemblies are substantially more contiguous than assemblies based on short reads, complete chromosomal assemblies are still COSMETIC BAG challengin
