Matrix decomposition methods provide representations of an object-variable data matrix by a product of two different matrices, one describing relationship between objects and hidd...
Abstract. In this paper a rigorous mathematical framework of deterministic annealing and mean-field approximation is presented for a general class of partitioning, clustering and ...
We formulate face localization as a Maximum A Posteriori Probability(MAP) problem of finding the best estimation of human face configuration in a given image. The a prior distribu...
