Inhomogeneous Gibbs model (IGM) [4] is an effective maximum entropy model in characterizing complex highdimensional distributions. However, its training process is so slow that th...
We present a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian models and regularized risk functionals. It is based on the propagation of mean and variance derived from the Lapla...

A monotone distribution P over a (partially) ordered domain assigns higher probability to y than to x if y x in the order. We study several natural problems concerning testing pr...
The signal-dependent rank order mean (SD-ROM) ?lter is effective at removing high levels of impulse noise from 2D scalar-valued signals. Excellent results have been presented for ...
