This paper examines the problem of extracting lowdimensional manifold structure given millions of highdimensional face images. Specifically, we address the computational challenge...
Nearly every structured prediction problem in computer vision requires approximate inference due to large and complex dependencies among output labels. While graphical models prov...
Finite mixture model is a powerful tool in many statistical learning problems. In this paper, we propose a general, structure-preserving approach to reduce its model complexity, w...
We discuss Bayesian methods for learning Bayesian networks when data sets are incomplete. In particular, we examine asymptotic approximations for the marginal likelihood of incomp...
Instance-based learning algorithms are widely used due to their capacity to approximate complex target functions; however, the performance of this kind of algorithms degrades signi...
