Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) have emerged as a powerful framework that combines statistical and logical reasoning; they have been applied to many data intensive problems including...
Given an image region of pixels, second order statistics can be used to construct a descriptor for object representation. One example is the covariance matrix descriptor, which sh...

This paper presents a novel approach to robust and flexible person tracking using an algorithm that combines two powerful stochastic modeling techniques: The first one is the tech...
We present a class of statistical models for part-based object recognition that are explicitly parameterized according to the degree of spatial structure they can represent. These...
