Combining information from the higher level and the lower level has long been recognized as an essential component in holistic image understanding. However, an efficient inferenc...
Abstract--A crucial issue in designing learning machines is to select the correct model parameters. When the number of available samples is small, theoretical sample-based generali...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
Structured models often achieve excellent performance but can be slow at test time. We investigate structure compilation, where we replace structure with features, which are often...
Abstract. Humans have the remarkable ability to generalize from binocular to monocular figure-ground segmentation of complex scenes. This is clearly evident anytime we look at a p...
