Classification Using Geometric Level Sets
A variational level set method is developed for the supervised classification problem. Nonlinear classifier decision boundaries are obtained by minimizing an energy functional tha...

Sparseness Versus Estimating Conditional Probabilities: Some Asymptotic Results
One of the nice properties of kernel classifiers such as SVMs is that they often produce sparse solutions. However, the decision functions of these classifiers cannot always be u...

On the Convergence Properties of Contrastive Divergence
Contrastive Divergence (CD) is a popular method for estimating the parameters of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) by rapidly approximating an intractable term in the gradient of the lo...

Linear and nonlinear generative probabilistic class models for shape contours
We introduce a robust probabilistic approach to modeling shape contours based on a lowdimensional, nonlinear latent variable model. In contrast to existing techniques that use obj...
