In this paper we propose an extension to the standard Markov Random Field (MRF) model in order to handle layers. Our extension, which we call a Factorial MRF (FMRF), is analogous t...
Theoretical analysis of the Web graph is often used to improve the efficiency of search engines. The PageRank algorithm, proposed by [5], is used by the Google search engine [4] t...
Exposure levels (X-ray tube amperage and peak kilovoltage) are associated with various noise levels and radiation dose. When higher exposure levels are applied, the images have hi...
An algorithm is presented for topology selection in graphical models of autoregressive Gaussian time series. The graph topology of the model represents the sparsity pattern of the...
Random independent sets in graphs arise, for example, in statistical physics, in the hard-core model of a gas. In 1997, Luby and Vigoda described a rapidly mixing Markov chain for...
