We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
We present a probabilistic framework for component-based automatic detection and tracking of objects in video. We represent objects as spatio-temporal two-layer graphical models, w...

Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...
Nearly every structured prediction problem in computer vision requires approximate inference due to large and complex dependencies among output labels. While graphical models prov...
Chord progressions are the building blocks from which tonal music is constructed. Inferring chord progressions is thus an essential step towards modeling long term dependencies in...
