Abstract. Haplotype inference has relevant biological applications, and represents a challenging computational problem. Among others, pure parsimony provides a viable modeling appr...
In this paper, we present a variational Bayes (VB) approach for image segmentation. First, image is modeled by a mixture model, and then with the techniques of factor analyzer, th...
