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...

On Sparse, Spectral and Other Parameterizations of Binary Probabilistic Models
This paper studies issues relating to the parameterization of probability distributions over binary data sets. Several such parameterizations of models for binary data are known, ...

Noisy-OR Models with Latent Confounding
Given a set of experiments in which varying subsets of observed variables are subject to intervention, we consider the problem of identifiability of causal models exhibiting late...
