We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
In this paper, we consider a smoothing kernelbased classification rule and propose an algorithm for optimizing the performance of the rule by learning the bandwidth of the smoothi...

Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual paramete...
The formalism of probabilistic graphical models provides a unifying framework for capturing complex dependencies among random variables, and building large-scale multivariate stat...
Automatic detection of dynamic events in video sequences has a variety of applications including visual surveillance and monitoring, video highlight extraction, intelligent transp...
