Cluster analysis of ranking data, which occurs in consumer questionnaires, voting forms or other inquiries of preferences, attempts to identify typical groups of rank choices. Emp...
Bayesian networks are directed acyclic graphs that represent dependencies between variables in a probabilistic model. Many time series models, including the hidden Markov models (H...
In this paper, we address the tasks of detecting, segmenting, parsing, and matching deformable objects. We use a novel probabilistic object model that we call a hierarchical defor...
Directed graphical models with one layer of observed random variables and one or more layers of hidden random variables have been the dominant modelling paradigm in many research ...
This paper presents a method to infer hidden semantic cues by accumulating the knowledge learned from relevance feedback sessions. We propose to explicitly represent a semantic sp...
