—Individuals in social networks are often organized under some hierarchy such as a command structure. In many cases, when this structure is unknown, there is a need to discover h...
In many real-world scenarios, it is nearly impossible to collect explicit social network data. In such cases, whole networks must be inferred from underlying observations. Here, w...
We consider the problem of inferring the most likely social network given connectivity constraints imposed by observations of outbreaks within the network. Given a set of vertices ...
Object detection using Haar-like features is formulated as a maximum likelihood estimation. Object features are described by an arbitrary Bayesian Network (BN) of Haar-like featur...
Probabilistic graphical models such as Bayesian Networks have been increasingly applied to many computer vision problems. Accuracy of inferences in such models depends on the quali...
