A popular approach to pixel labeling problems, such as multiclass image segmentation, is to construct a pairwise conditional Markov random field (CRF) over image pixels where the...
1 This paper provides a new, generalized approach to the problem of encoding information as vectors of binary digits. We furnish a formal definition for the Boolean constrained enc...
We study the problem of approximating pseudoBoolean functions by linear pseudo-Boolean functions. Pseudo-Boolean functions generalize ordinary Boolean functions by allowing the fu...
