Many models from a variety of areas involve the computation of an equilibrium or fixed point of some kind. Examples include Nash equilibria in games; market equilibria; computing o...
We present a stochastic clustering algorithm which uses pairwise similarity of elements, based on a new graph theoretical algorithm for the sampling of cuts in graphs. The stochas...
Measuring image similarity is a central topic in computer vision. In this paper, we learn similarity from Flickr groups and use it to organize photos. Two images are similar if th...
In this paper, we present a patch-based variational Bayesian framework of image processing using the language of factor graphs (FGs). The variable and factor nodes of FGs represen...
Herein, we propose a new content based image retrieval method. The novelty of our approach lies in the applied image similarity measure : Unlike traditional features like color, t...
