The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...
We present a random field based model for stereo vision with explicit occlusion labeling in a probabilistic framework. The model employs non-parametric cost functions that can be ...
Multitrajectory simulation allows explicit management of random events by allowing particular events to be resolved by random draw, by a deterministic choice, or by creating new s...
We present a model for buying agents in e-marketplaces to interpret evaluations of sellers provided by other buying agents, known as advisors. The interpretation of seller evaluat...
We present a passage relevance model for integrating syntactic and semantic evidence of biomedical concepts and topics using a probabilistic graphical model. Component models of t...
