Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) has become a popular topic model for image clustering. However, the traditional PLSA method considers each image (document) independen...
We study unsupervised learning of occluding objects in images of visual scenes. The derived learning algorithm is based on a probabilistic generative model which parameterizes obj...
Many noise models do not faithfully reflect the noise processes introduced during data collection in many real-world applications. In particular, we argue that a type of noise re...
In automated synthesis, we transform a specification into a system that is guaranteed to satisfy the specification. In spite of the rich theory developed for system synthesis, litt...
The HITS and the PageRank algorithms are eigenvector methods for identifying "authoritative" or "influential" articles, given hyperlink or citation information...
