Abstract. Estimation of parameters of random field models from labeled training data is crucial for their good performance in many image analysis applications. In this paper, we p...
This paper describes a class ofprobabilistic approximation algorithms based on bucket elimination which o er adjustable levels of accuracy ande ciency. We analyzethe approximation...
In this paper we will show that a restricted class of constrained minimum divergence problems, named generalized inference problems, can be solved by approximating the KL divergen...
In this work we propose an approach to binary classification based on an extension of Bayes Point Machines. Particularly, we take into account the whole set of hypotheses that are...
Generalized belief propagation (GBP) has proven to be a promising technique for approximate inference tasks in AI and machine learning. However, the choice of a good set of cluste...
