We propose a new family of latent variable models called max-margin min-entropy (m3e) models, which define a distribution over the output and the hidden variables conditioned on ...

Abstract. The worst-case complexity of an implementation of Quicksort depends on the random number generator that is used to select the pivot elements. In this paper we estimate th...
We propose a definition for the entropy of capacities defined on lattices. Classical capacities are monotone set functions and can be seen as a generalization of probability mea...
This paper examines the issue of scale in modeling texture for the purpose of segmentation. We propose a scale descriptor for texture and an energy minimization model to find the ...

Global likelihood maximization is an important aspect of many statistical analyses. Often the likelihood function is highly multi-extremal. This presents a significant challenge t...
