This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
Naive Bayes models have been widely used for clustering and classification. However, they are seldom used for general probabilistic learning and inference (i.e., for estimating an...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
This paper presents an algorithm for measuring hair and face appearance in 2D images. Our approach starts by using learned mixture models of color and location information to sugg...
