We propose a nonparametric framework based on the beta process for discovering temporal patterns within a heterogenous video collection. Starting from quantized local motion descr...
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

Given a data matrix, the problem of finding dense/uniform sub-blocks in the matrix is becoming important in several applications. The problem is inherently combinatorial since th...
The Hierarchical Mixture of Experts (HME) is a well-known tree-structured model for regression and classification, based on soft probabilistic splits of the input space. In its o...
We present a scalable approach to recognizing and describing complex activities in video sequences. We are interested in long-term, sequential activities that may have several par...
