Approximate inference by Markov chains on union spaces
A standard method for approximating averages in probabilistic models is to construct a Markov chain in the product space of the random variables with the desired equilibrium distr...

Convergence Analysis of Reweighted Sum-Product Algorithms
Markov random fields are designed to represent structured dependencies among large collections of random variables, and are well-suited to capture the structure of real-world sign...

Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...

Recognizing Facial Expressions by Tracking Feature Shapes
Reliable facial expression recognition by machine is still a challenging task. We propose a framework to recognise various expressions by tracking facial features. Our method uses...
