Amir Saffari’s Website

We managed to get two papers accepted at ECCV, one being an ORAL:

1. Christian Leistner, Amir Saffari, Horst Bischof, “MILForests: Multiple-Instance Learning with Randomized Trees“, Oral Presentation.
2. Amir Saffari, Christian Leistner, Martin Godec, Horst Bischof, “Robust Multi-View Boosting with Priors“.

More to come soon. So now Bring us Pints of Beer

I released the code for one of my CVPR 2010 papers, “Online Multi-Class LPBoost“. For more information, follow this link: OMCLPBoost.

I together with other colleagues got three papers accepted at CVPR 2010.

1. Amir Saffari, Martin Godec, Thomas Pock, Christian Leistner, Horst Bischof, “Online Multi-Class LPBoost“, Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2010. Code.
2. Bernhard Zeisl, Christian Leistner , Amir Saffari , Horst Bischof, “Online Semi-Supervised Multiple-Instance Boosting“, Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2010.
3. Jakob Santner, Christian Leistner, Amir Saffari, Thomas Pock, Horst Bischof, “PROST: Parallel Robust Online Simple Tracking“, Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2010. Website.

Flymake is a generic syntax checker for Emacs. Its combination with PyFlakes which is a syntax checker for python makes it a perfect setting for Python programming in Emacs. Here are the steps to make it to work:

1) Install PyFlakes:

• If you have python setuptools installed, just try

  sudo easy_install pyflakes

• If you could not use the setuptools, you can also try using your distributions repositories. For Ubuntu/Debian you can try

  sudo apt-get install pyflakes

2) Install Flymake:

• If you are using Emacs 23+, it is already included in your installation, follow to the next step.
• You can download it from here, and put it to your emacs directory under your home (usually, “~/.emacs.d” directory).

3) Copy the following to your “init.el” file, which is again located under your Emacs folder (e.g. “~/.emacs.d/init.el”):

;;===== PyFlakes
;; code checking via pyflakes+flymake
(when (load "flymake" t)
 (defun flymake-pyflakes-init ()
 (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy
 'flymake-create-temp-inplace))
 (local-file (file-relative-name
 temp-file
 (file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))
 (list "pyflakes" (list local-file))))

 (add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
 '("\\.py\\'" flymake-pyflakes-init)))

(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook)
