Match outcome prediction in group comparison setting is a challenging but important task. Existing works mainly focus on learning individual effects or mining limited interactions between teammates, which not sufficient for capturing complex teammates as well opponents. Besides, the importance of interacting with different characters still largely underexplored. To this end, we propose novel Ne...

In this paper a new method for defining a transformation between a source color space and a more perceptual uniform color space will be presented. The main idea is to use a three dimensional FreeForm Deformation to deform a source color space in such a way, that the new distances between chosen color samples match psychophysically estimated data as close as possible. This deformation of space i...

Discussions of the source of the Stroop interference effect continue to pervade the literature. Semantic competition posits that interference results from competing semantic activation of word and color dimensions of the stimulus prior to response selection. Response competition posits that interference results from competing responses for articulating the word dimension vs. the color dimension...

Local structure prediction can facilitate ab initio structure prediction, protein threading, and remote homology detection. However, previous approaches to local structure prediction suffer from poor accuracy. In this paper, we propose a knowledge-based prediction method that assigns a measure called the local match rate to each position of an amino acid sequence to estimate the confidence of o...

Long-range lateral connections in the primary visual cortex (V1) are known to link neurons with similar orientation preferences, but it is not yet known how color-selective cells are connected. Using a selforganizing model of V1 with natural color image input, we show that realistic color-selective receptive fields, color maps, and orientation maps develop. Connections between orientation-selec...

Color is an important attribute for image match ing and retrieval Most of the attention from the re search literature has been focused on color indexing techniques based on global color distributions How ever these global distributions have limited discrim inating power because they are unable to capture lo cal color information In this paper we present a wavelet based salient point extraction ...

Color constancy was studied under conditions simulating either natural or extremely artificial illumination. Four test illuminants were used: two broadband phases of daylight (correlated color temperatures 4000 and 25,000 K) and two spectrally impoverished metamers of these lights, each consisting of only two wavelengths. A computer controlled color monitor was used for reproducing the chromati...
