Belief propagation has become a popular technique for solving computer vision problems, such as stereo estimation and image denoising. However, it requires large memory and bandwi...
—Belief propagation, via a novel reinterpretation of the Bethe free energy’s pseudo-dual, is shown to be related to a novel relaxation of maximum likelihood detection via a con...
We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
Using a lexicon can often improve character recognition under challenging conditions, such as poor image quality or unusual fonts. We propose a flexible probabilistic model for c...
