We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
Object tracking is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision and has received considerable attention in the past two decades. The success of a tracking algorithm relies on...
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...
While extensive work has been done on evaluating queries over tuple-independent probabilistic databases, query evaluation over correlated data has received much less attention eve...
This paper develops Probabilistic Hybrid Action Models (PHAMs), a realistic causal model for predicting the behavior generated by modern concurrent percept-driven robot plans. PHA...
