We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...
—We describe an object detection system based on mixtures of multiscale deformable part models. Our system is able to represent highly variable object classes and achieves state-...

Learning graphical models with hidden variables can offer semantic insights to complex data and lead to salient structured predictors without relying on expensive, sometime unatta...
We consider a mixed linear system model, with both continuous and discrete inputs and outputs, described by a coefficient matrix and a set of noise variances. When the discrete inp...
