Hand-gesture recognition presents a challenging problem for computer vision due to the articulated structure of the human hand and the complexity of the environments in which it is...
Diagrammatic logics have advantages over symbolic cousins. Peirce thought that logical diagrams (Existential Graphs, EG) are capable of "expression of all assertions", as...
We present a probabilistic generative model of visual attributes, together with an efficient learning algorithm. Attributes are visual qualities of objects, such as ‘red’, ...
We propose a new algorithm for learning kernels for variants of the Normalized Cuts (NCuts) objective – i.e., given a set of training examples with known partitions, how should ...
We present a new approximate inference algorithm for Deep Boltzmann Machines (DBM's), a generative model with many layers of hidden variables. The algorithm learns a separate...
