Probabilistic detection of short events, with application to critical care monitoring
We describe an application of probabilistic modeling and inference technology to the problem of analyzing sensor data in the setting of an intensive care unit (ICU). In particular...

Estimating the Location and Orientation of Complex, Correlated Neural Activity using MEG
The synchronous brain activity measured via MEG (or EEG) can be interpreted as arising from a collection (possibly large) of current dipoles or sources located throughout the cort...

A "Shape Aware" Model for semi-supervised Learning of Objects and its Context
We present an approach that combines bag-of-words and spatial models to perform semantic and syntactic analysis for recognition of an object based on its internal appearance and i...

Nonrigid Structure from Motion in Trajectory Space
Existing approaches to nonrigid structure from motion assume that the instantaneous 3D shape of a deforming object is a linear combination of basis shapes, which have to be estima...

Multiscale Random Fields with Application to Contour Grouping
We introduce a new interpretation of multiscale random fields (MSRFs) that admits efficient optimization in the framework of regular (single level) random fields (RFs). It is base...
