Deep belief networks are a powerful way to model complex probability distributions. However, it is difficult to learn the structure of a belief network, particularly one with hidd...

Abstract— In this paper, we describe a two-step varianceadaptive method for image denoising based on a statistical model of the coefficients of balanced multiwavelet transform. ...
This paper presents a family of techniques that we call congealing for modeling image classes from data. The idea is to start with a set of images and make them appear as similar a...
We propose a novel sequential decision approach to modeling ordinal ratings in collaborative filtering problems. The rating process is assumed to start from the lowest level, eva...
We present an example of a joint spatial and temporal task learning algorithm that results in a generative model that has applications for on-line visual control. We review work o...
