A Characterization of Interventional Distributions in Semi-Markovian Causal Models
We offer a complete characterization of the set of distributions that could be induced by local interventions on variables governed by a causal Bayesian network of unknown structu...

Bayesian Student Models Based on Item to Item Knowledge Structures
Bayesian networks are commonly used in cognitive student modeling and assessment. They typically represent the item-concepts relationships, where items are observable responses to ...

Locally Parallel Texture Modeling
This article presents a new adaptive framework for locally parallel texture modeling. Oscillating patterns are modeled with functionals that constrain the local Fourier decompositi...

Convergent Message-Passing Algorithms for Inference over General Graphs with Convex Free Energies
Inference problems in graphical models can be represented as a constrained optimization of a free energy function. It is known that when the Bethe free energy is used, the fixedpo...

Ranking Prior Likelihood Distributions for Bayesian Shape Localization Framework
In this paper, we formulate the shape localization problem in the Bayesian framework. In the learning stage, we propose the Constrained RankBoost approach to model the likelihood ...
