Sample Complexity of Composite Likelihood
We present the first PAC bounds for learning parameters of Conditional Random Fields [12] with general structures over discrete and real-valued variables. Our bounds apply to com...

Exploiting Conversational Features to Detect High-Quality Blog Comments
Abstract. In this work, we present a method for classifying the quality of blog comments using Linear-Chain Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). This approach is found to yield high a...

Global Interactions in Random Field Models: A Potential Function Ensuring Connectedness
Markov random field (MRF) models, including conditional random field models, are popular in computer vision. However, in order to be computationally tractable, they are limited to ...

Onboard contextual classification of 3-D point clouds with learned high-order Markov Random Fields
Contextual reasoning through graphical models such as Markov Random Fields often show superior performance against local classifiers in many domains. Unfortunately, this performanc...

Scanning and Sequential Decision Making for Multidimensional Data - Part II: The Noisy Case
We consider the problem of sequential decision making for random fields corrupted by noise. In this scenario, the decision maker observes a noisy version of the data, yet judged wi...

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...

Efficient simulation for tail probabilities of Gaussian random fields
We are interested in computing tail probabilities for the maxima of Gaussian random fields. In this paper, we discuss two special cases: random fields defined over a finite number...

Constrained Classification on Structured Data
Most standard learning algorithms, such as Logistic Regression (LR) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM), are designed to deal with i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed...
