From conventional wisdom and empirical studies of annotated data, it has been shown that visual statistics such as object frequencies and segment sizes follow power law distributi...

We present a two-layer hierarchical formulation to exploit different levels of contextual information in images for robust classification. Each layer is modeled as a conditional f...
Pseudo-likelihood and contrastive divergence are two well-known examples of contrastive methods. These algorithms trade off the probability of the correct label with the probabili...
Transduction is an inference mechanism “from particular to particular”. Its application to classification tasks implies the use of both labeled (training) data and unlabeled (...
Supervised learning from multiple labeling sources is an increasingly important problem in machine learning and data mining. This paper develops a probabilistic approach to this p...
