User-contributed tags have shown promise as a means of indexing multimedia collections by harnessing the combined efforts and enthusiasm of online communities. But tags are only o...
— This paper addresses the design of a control law for vision-based robot navigation. The method proposed is based on a topological representation of the environment. Within this...
Many problems require repeated inference on probabilistic graphical models, with different values for evidence variables or other changes. Examples of such problems include utilit...
This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
We give an algorithm for the on-line learning of permutations. The algorithm maintains its uncertainty about the target permutation as a doubly stochastic weight matrix, and makes...
