The most popular way to use probabilistic models in vision is first to extract some descriptors of small image patches or object parts using well-engineered features, and then to...
Abstract. We present a novel approach to structure learning for graphical models. By using nonparametric estimates to model clique densities in decomposable models, both discrete a...
The likelihood models used in probabilistic visual tracking applications are often complex non-linear and/or nonGaussian functions, leading to analytically intractable inference. ...
Abstract—Segmenting lesions is a vital step in many computerized mass-detection schemes for digital (or digitized) mammograms. We have developed two novel lesion segmentation tec...
Adaptor grammars (Johnson et al., 2007b) are a non-parametric Bayesian extension of Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (PCFGs) which in effect learn the probabilities of entire s...
