Conditional random fields (CRFs) are graphical models for modeling the probability of labels given the observations. They have traditionally been trained with using a set of obser...

Spatial priors play crucial roles in many high-level vision tasks, e.g. scene understanding. Usually, learning spatial priors relies on training a structured output model. In this...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
A standard method for approximating averages in probabilistic models is to construct a Markov chain in the product space of the random variables with the desired equilibrium distr...
Many computer vision problems can be formulated in
a Bayesian framework with Markov Random Field (MRF)
or Conditional Random Field (CRF) priors. Usually, the
model assumes that ...
