Optimization of Divergences within the Exponential Family for Image Segmentation
In this work, we propose novel results for the optimization of divergences within the framework of region-based active contours. We focus on parametric statistical models where th...

Lexicon Convergence in a Population With and Without Metacommunication
How does a shared lexicon arise in population of agents with differing lexicons, and how can this shared lexicon be maintained over multiple generations? In order to get some insig...

Properties of Bethe Free Energies and Message Passing in Gaussian Models
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. We define the Gaussian fracti...

Kullback-Leibler Boosting
In this paper, we develop a general classification framework called Kullback-Leibler Boosting, or KLBoosting. KLBoosting has following properties. First, classification is based o...

A tempering approach for Itakura-Saito non-negative matrix factorization. With application to music transcription
In this paper we are interested in non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) with the Itakura-Saito (IS) divergence. Previous work has demonstrated the relevance of this cost functi...
