How to compute marginals efficiently is one of major concerned problems in probabilistic reasoning systems. Traditional graphical models do not preserve all conditional independen...
Human visual capability has remained largely beyond the reach of engineered systems despite intensive study and considerable progress in problem understanding, algorithms and comp...
The paper presents and evaluates the power of best-first search over AND/OR search spaces in graphical models. The main virtue of the AND/OR representation is its sensitivity to ...
Graphical models are powerful tools for processing images. However, the large dimensionality of even local image data poses a difficulty: representing the range of possible graphi...

We consider principal component analysis (PCA) in decomposable Gaussian graphical models. We exploit the prior information in these models in order to distribute its computation. ...
We present a probabilistic framework for component-based automatic detection and tracking of objects in video. We represent objects as spatio-temporal two-layer graphical models, w...

In this paper we present a new framework for image segmentation using probabilistic multinets. We apply this framework to integration of regionbased and contour-based segmentation ...
— An important problem in robotics is planning and selecting actions for goal-directed behavior in noisy uncertain environments. The problem is typically addressed within the fra...
In this paper we propose an automated approach for joint sulci detection on cortical surfaces by using graphical models and boosting techniques to incorporate shape priors of major...

Imitation-based learning is a general mechanism for rapid acquisition of new behaviors in autonomous agents and robots. In this paper, we propose a new approach to learning by imit...
