We analyze the problem of detecting a road target in background clutter and investigate the amount of prior (i.e. target specific) knowledge needed to perform this search task. Th...
We address the problem of robust appearance-based visual tracking. First, a set of simplified biologically inspired features (SBIF) is proposed for object representation and the B...
This paper demonstrates a new method for leveraging unstructured annotations to infer semantic document properties. We consider the domain of product reviews, which are often anno...

Explaining away has mostly been considered in terms of inference of states in belief networks. We show how it can also arise in a Bayesian context in inference about the weights g...
A new method for visual tracking of articulated objects is presented. Analyzing articulated motion is challenging because the dimensionality increase potentially demands tremendou...
