Markov Random Field, or MRF, models are a powerful tool for modeling images. While much progress has been made in algorithms for inference in MRFs, learning the parameters of an M...
In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
We propose Laplace max-margin Markov networks (LapM3 N), and a general class of Bayesian M3 N (BM3 N) of which the LapM3 N is a special case with sparse structural bias, for robus...
We study iterative randomized greedy algorithms for generating (elimination) orderings with small induced width and state space size - two parameters known to bound the complexity...

This paper addresses the problem of object detection and recognition in complex scenes, where objects are partially occluded. The approach presented herein is based on the hypothe...
