Markov networks are a common class of graphical models used in machine learning. Such models use an undirected graph to capture dependency information among random variables in a ...
Based on a recent development in the area of error control coding, we introduce the notion of convolutional factor graphs (CFGs) as a new class of probabilistic graphical models. ...
Abstract Polynomial-time data reduction is a classical approach to hard graph problems. Typically, particular small subgraphs are replaced by smaller gadgets. We generalize this ap...
Abstract. Bayesian inference provides a powerful framework to optimally integrate statistically learned prior knowledge into numerous computer vision algorithms. While the Bayesian...
Co-citation (number of nodes linking to both of a given pair of nodes) is often used heuristically to judge similarity between nodes in a complex network. We investigate the relat...
