Tree-structured probabilistic models admit simple, fast inference. However, they are not well suited to phenomena such as occlusion, where multiple components of an object may dis...
Two central criteria for data quality are consistency and accuracy. Inconsistencies and errors in a database often emerge as violations of integrity constraints. Given a dirty dat...
Linear DSP kernels such as transforms and filters are comprised exclusively of additions and multiplications by constants. These multiplications may be realized as networks of ad...
3D imaging is a popular method for acquiring accurate models for a variety of applications. However, the size of the geometric features that can be modeled in this manner is depen...
User preferences for automated assistance often vary widely, depending on the situation, and quality or presentation of help. Developing effective models to learn individual prefe...
