Abstract –In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields, which is computationally more efficient and admits wider applicability comp...
Abstract. Vision is a crucial sensor. It provides a very rich collection of information about our environment. However, not everything in a visual scene is relevant for the task at...
Abstract. The paper features MAVE, a knowledge-based system for answer validation through deep linguistic processing and logical inference. A relaxation loop is used to determine a...
Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...
Abstract. Formulas are often monotonic in the sense that if the formula is satisfiable for given domains of discourse, it is also satisfiable for all larger domains. Monotonicity i...
