An Object-Based Bayesian Framework for Top-Down Visual Attention
We introduce a new task-independent framework to model top-down overt visual attention based on graphical models for probabilistic inference and reasoning. We describe a Dynamic B...

A Tractable First-Order Probabilistic Logic
Tractable subsets of first-order logic are a central topic in AI research. Several of these formalisms have been used as the basis for first-order probabilistic languages. Howev...

Probabilistic pointing target prediction via inverse optimal control
Numerous interaction techniques have been developed that make “virtual” pointing at targets in graphical user interfaces easier than analogous physical pointing tasks by invok...

Single and sparse view 3D reconstruction by learning shape priors
In this paper, we aim to reconstruct free-form 3D models from only one or few silhouettes by learning the prior knowledge of a specific class of objects. Instead of heuristically...

AnglePose: robust, precise capacitive touch tracking via 3d orientation estimation
We present a finger-tracking system for touch-based interaction which can track 3D finger angle in addition to position, using low-resolution conventional capacitive sensors, th...

On the Role of Contextual Weak Independence in Probabilistic Inference
Previous experimental results have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing context-specific independence (CSI) in probabilistic inference. However, CSI is a special cas...

Context-Specific Independence in Directed Relational Probabilistic Models and its Influence on the Efficiency of Gibbs Sampling
Abstract. There is currently a large interest in relational probabilistic models. While the concept of context-specific independence (CSI) has been well-studied for models such as ...

Symbolic Probabilistic Inference in Belief Networks
The Symbolic Probabilistic Inference (SPI) Algorithm [D'Ambrosio, 19891 provides an efficient framework for resolving general queries on a belief network. It applies the conc...

Context-specific approximation in probabilistic inference
There is evidence that the numbers in probabilistic inference don't really matter. This paper considers the idea that we can make a probabilistic model simpler by making fewe...
