We propose a new integrated approach based on Markov logic networks (MLNs), an effective combination of probabilistic graphical models and firstorder logic for statistical relatio...
Depth estimation in computer vision and robotics is most commonly done via stereo vision (stereopsis), in which images from two cameras are used to triangulate and estimate distan...
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the task of locating and classifying names in text. In previous work, NER was limited to a small number of predefined entity classes (e.g., peop...
