Contextual reasoning through graphical models such as Markov Random Fields often show superior performance against local classifiers in many domains. Unfortunately, this performanc...
This paper addresses the issue of social recommendation based on collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms. Social recommendation emphasizes utilizing various attributes informatio...
Markov Random Field (MRF) models with potentials learned from the data have recently received attention for learning the low-level structure of natural images. A MRF provides a pri...
This paper presents Markov random fields (MRFs) to segment strokes of Chinese characters. The distortions caused by the thinning process make the thinning-based stroke segmentatio...
