Abstract: Multimedia databases are increasingly common in science, business, entertainment and many other applications. Their size and high dimensionality of features are major cha...
We establish the Stein phenomenon in the context of two-step, monotone incomplete data drawn from Np+q(µ, Σ), a multivariate normal population with mean µ and covariance matrix...
The importance estimation problem (estimating the ratio of two probability density functions) has recently gathered a great deal of attention for use in various applications, e.g....
Discriminative approaches for human pose estimation model the functional mapping, or conditional distribution, between image features and 3D pose. Learning such multi-modal models ...
The generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) provides a flexible and suitable tool for data modeling and simulation, however the characterization of the complex-valued GGD, in parti...
