Numerous approaches for distributed video coding have been recently proposed. One of main motivations for these techniques is the possibility of achieving complexity tradeoffs bet...
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...
