NOTES:

Certain Balu functions were improved with the help of collaborators (see credits in Collaboration.txt).

Certain Balu functions use commands of the followings toolboxes: VLFeat, Image Processing, Bioinformatics, and Neural Netowrks. It is necessary to install these toolboxes if you want to use these Balu functions.

Certain neural network functions were implemented based on NetLab Toolbox:  (c) 1996-2001, Ian T. Nabney, All rights reserved. Nabney, I.T. (2003): Netlab: Algorithms for Pattern Recognition, Advances in Pattern Recognition, Springer.

Certain Local Binary Patterns functions were implemented based on code written by Heikkila & Ahonen (see http://www.cse.oulu.fi/MVG/Research/LBP) all rights reserved.

Partial Least Squares Regression was implemented based on code developed by Gelady (see http://www.cdpcenter.org/files/plsr )
