“…Examples are global-learning-global-decision (GG) (Brunelli and Falavigna, 1995;Bigun et al, 1997;Kittler et al, 1998;Hong and Jain, 1998;Ben-Yacoub et al, 1999;Chatzis et al, 1999;Verlinde et al, 2000), local-learning-globaldecision (LG) (Jain and Ross, 2002;Kumar and Zhang, 2003;Indovina et al, 2003;Fierrez-Aguilar et al, 2004;Wang et al, 2004;Toh et al, 2004;Poh and Bengio, 2005), and similarly global-learninglocal-decision (GL) (Jain and Ross, 2002;Toh et al, 2004), and local-learninglocal-decision (LL) (Toh et al, 2004). In the present work we adhere to this taxonomy and extend it by incorporating new items: adapted-learning and adapted-decisions.…”
