Based on a recent development in the area of error control coding, we introduce the notion of convolutional factor graphs (CFGs) as a new class of probabilistic graphical models. ...
Boolean function bi-decomposition is a fundamental operation in logic synthesis. A function f(X) is bi-decomposable under a variable partition XA, XB, XC on X if it can be written...

This paper presents new methods for restructuring logic networks based on fast Boolean techniques. The basis for these are 1) a cut based view of a logic network, 2) exploiting th...

We present a combinatorial characterization of the Bethe entropy function of a factor graph, such a characterization being in contrast to the original, analytical, definition of th...
In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
