It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...
Three methods are proposed to classify queries by intent (CQI), e.g., navigational, informational, commercial, etc. Following mixed-initiative dialog systems, search engines shoul...
We address the problem of estimating the three-dimensional shape and radiance of a surface in space from images obtained with different focal settings. We pose the problem as an in...
We introduce a new method for segmentation of 3D medical data based on geometric variational principles. A minimal variance criterion is coupled with a geometric edge alignment mea...
