Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
This paper isconcerned with learning the canonical gray scalestructure of the images of a classof objects. Structure is defined in terms of the geometry and layout of salientimage...
Classification of images in many category datasets has
rapidly improved in recent years. However, systems that
perform well on particular datasets typically have one or
more lim...
We introduce a model class for statistical learning which is based on mixtures of propositional rules. In our mixture model, the weight of a rule is not uniform over the entire ins...
The article contributes a derivation of variational Bayes for a large class of topic models by generalising from the well-known model of latent Dirichcation. For an abstraction of ...
