While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
We develop a new component analysis framework, the Noisy-Or Component Analyzer (NOCA), that targets high-dimensional binary data. NOCA is a probabilistic latent variable model tha...
We present a tutorial survey on some recent approaches to unsupervised machine learning in the context of statistical pattern recognition. In statistical PR, there are two classica...
This paper presents a family of techniques that we call congealing for modeling image classes from data. The idea is to start with a set of images and make them appear as similar a...
A key problem in video content analysis using dynamic graphical models is to learn a suitable model structure given some observed visual data. We propose a Completed Likelihood AI...
