Abstract: Locally weighted learning (LWL) is a class of techniques from nonparametric statistics that provides useful representations and training algorithms for learning about com...

We propose a statistical formulation for 2-D human pose estimation from single images. The human body configuration is modeled by a Markov network and the estimation problem is to...
The paper investigates parameterized approximate message-passing schemes that are based on bounded inference and are inspired by Pearl’s belief propagation algorithm (BP). We st...

Survey propagation is a powerful technique from statistical physics that has been applied to solve the 3-SAT problem both in principle and in practice. We give, using only probabi...
We describe a new approach to default reasoning, based on a principle of indi erence among possible worlds. We interpret default rules as extreme statistical statements, thus obta...
