Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Variational Bayes Solution of Linear Neural Networks and Its Generalization Performance
It is well-known that, in unidentifiable models, the Bayes estimation provides much better generalization performance than the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation. However, its ac...

A Bilinear Approach to the Parameter Estimation of a General Heteroscedastic Linear System, with Application to Conic Fitting
: In this paper, we study the parameter estimation problem in a general heteroscedastic linear system, by putting the problem in the framework of the bilinear approach to low-rank ...

Weakly Supervised Learning on Pre-image Problem in Kernel Methods
This paper presents a novel alternative approach, namely weakly supervised learning (WSL), to learn the pre-image of a feature vector in the feature space induced by a kernel. It ...

Interactive PCP
A central line of research in the area of PCPs is devoted to constructing short PCPs. In this paper, we show that if we allow an additional interactive verification phase, with v...
