Sampling Methods for Unsupervised Learning
We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...

Sparse Inverse Covariance Selection via Alternating Linearization Methods
Gaussian graphical models are of great interest in statistical learning. Because the conditional independencies between different nodes correspond to zero entries in the inverse c...

3D reconstruction of fish schooling kinematics from underwater video
This paper describes a probabilistic framework to estimate the shape and position of multiple fish in a school. We model the fish shape as an ellipsoid with a curvature coefficient...

Graphtracker: A topology projection invariant optical tracker
In this paper, we describe a new optical tracking algorithm for pose estimation of interaction devices in virtual and augmented reality. Given a 3D model of the interaction device...
