We propose a new theoretical framework for generalizing the traditional notion of covariance. First, we discuss the role of pairwise cross-cumulants by introducing a cluster expan...
Belief Propagation (BP) can be very useful and efficient for performing approximate inference on graphs. But when the graph is very highly connected with strong conflicting intera...
Pattern recognition problems often suffer from the larger intra-class variation due to situation variations such as pose, walking speed, and clothing variations in gait recognition...
We derive PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds for supervised and unsupervised learning models based on clustering, such as co-clustering, matrix tri-factorization, graphical models...
