We present a framework for clustering distributed data in unsupervised and semi-supervised scenarios, taking into account privacy requirements and communication costs. Rather than...
Recently, generative probabilistic modeling principles were extended to visualization of structured data types, such as sequences. The models are formulated as constrained mixture...
Formal languages for probabilistic modeling enable re-use, modularity, and descriptive clarity, and can foster generic inference techniques. We introduce Church, a universal langu...

Statistical shape modeling using point distribution models (PDMs) has been studied extensively for segmentation and other image analysis tasks. Methods investigated in the literat...

This paper proposes a simple yet new and effective framework by combining generative model and discriminative model for natural scene categorization. A state-of-the-art approach f...
