Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

A steepest descent based bit allocation method with polynomial iteration complexity for minimizing the sum of frame distortions under a total bit rate constraint is presented for ...
We present a generalized subgraph preconditioning (GSP) technique to solve large-scale bundle adjustment problems efficiently. In contrast with previous work which uses either di...
The Conditional Random Fields (CRF) model, using
patch-based classification bound with context information,
has recently been widely adopted for image segmentation/
labeling. In...
This paper presents an algorithm for recovering the globally optimal 2D human figure detection using a loopy graph model. This is computationally challenging because the time comp...
