We analyze the regret, measured in terms of log loss, of the maximum likelihood (ML) sequential prediction strategy. This "follow the leader" strategy also defines one o...
In this paper, we formulate the shape localization problem in the Bayesian framework. In the learning stage, we propose the Constrained RankBoost approach to model the likelihood ...
In this paper, we present an automatic classification framework combining appearance based features and Hidden Markov Models (HMM) to detect unusual events in image sequences. One...
Modeling and simulation of very large systems introduces a number of issues that are not seen in the modeling of simpler systems. These arise because the resource requirements for...
In this paper, we present a robust method for estimating the model parameters in a mixture of probabilistic principal component analyzers. This method is based on the Stochastic v...
