In this position paper, we first review the state-of-the-art in graph-based semi-supervised learning, and point out three limitations that are particularly relevant to multimedia ...
Variational inference methods, including mean field methods and loopy belief propagation, have been widely used for approximate probabilistic inference in graphical models. While ...
We propose a new unsupervised learning technique for extracting information about authors and topics from large text collections. We model documents as if they were generated by a...
