In this paper, the recognition of the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants (as defined by their eye gaze direction) from their head pose is addressed. To this ...
We introduce a discriminative hidden-state approach for the recognition of human gestures. Gesture sequences often have a complex underlying structure, and models that can incorpo...

Speech recognition is usually based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), which represent the temporal dynamics of speech very efficiently, and Gaussian mixture models, which do non-opt...
Max-margin Markov networks (M3 N) have shown great promise in structured prediction and relational learning. Due to the KKT conditions, the M3 N enjoys dual sparsity. However, the...
Feature selection is an important task in order to achieve better generalizability in high dimensional learning, and structure learning of Markov random fields (MRFs) can automat...
