Graphical models such as Bayesian Networks (BNs) are being increasingly applied to various computer vision problems. One bottleneck in using BN is that learning the BN model param...
A new class of data structures called "bumptrees" is described. These structures are useful for efficiently implementing a number of neural network related operations. A...
Recent studies have shown that machine learning can improve the accuracy of detecting object boundaries in images. In the standard approach, a boundary detector is trained by mini...
