Joint Tracking of Pose, Expression, and Texture using Conditionally Gaussian Filters
We present a generative model and stochastic filtering algorithm for simultaneous tracking of 3D position and orientation, non-rigid motion, object texture, and background texture...

Semi-supervised Learning with Penalized Probabilistic Clustering
While clustering is usually an unsupervised operation, there are circumstances in which we believe (with varying degrees of certainty) that items A and B should be assigned to the...

A Three Tiered Approach for Articulated Object Action Modeling and Recognition
Visual action recognition is an important problem in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a new method to probabilistically model and recognize actions of articulated object...

Mistake Bounds for Maximum Entropy Discrimination
We establish a mistake bound for an ensemble method for classification based on maximizing the entropy of voting weights subject to margin constraints. The bound is the same as a ...

PAC-Bayes Learning of Conjunctions and Classification of Gene-Expression Data
We propose a "soft greedy" learning algorithm for building small conjunctions of simple threshold functions, called rays, defined on single real-valued attributes. We al...

Bayesian Regularization and Nonnegative Deconvolution for Time Delay Estimation
Bayesian Regularization and Nonnegative Deconvolution (BRAND) is proposed for estimating time delays of acoustic signals in reverberant environments. Sparsity of the nonnegative f...
