We present a hierarchical generative model for object recognition that is constructed by weakly-supervised learning. A key component is a novel, adaptive patch feature whose width...
Feature selection is a critical component of many pattern recognition applications. There are two distinct mechanisms for feature selection, namely the wrapper method and the filt...
We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding nbit strings over an ℓ-bit alphabet, where the decode...
Abstract. We use a simple yet powerful higher-order conditional random field (CRF) to model optical flow. It consists of a standard photoconsistency cost and a prior on affine mo...
