We present a unified duality view of several recently emerged spectral methods for nonlinear dimensionality reduction, including Isomap, locally linear embedding, Laplacian eigenm...
Many unsupervised algorithms for nonlinear dimensionality reduction, such as locally linear embedding (LLE) and Laplacian eigenmaps, are derived from the spectral decompositions o...
We investigate the problem of learning the structure of an articulated object, i.e. its kinematic chain, from feature trajectories under affine projections. We demonstrate this po...
We show how to build hierarchical, reduced-rank representation for large stochastic matrices and use this representation to design an efficient algorithm for computing the largest...
We focus on the estimation of a probability distribution over a set of trees. We consider here the class of distributions computed by weighted automata - a strict generalization of...
