We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
Many real-world domains exhibit rich relational structure and stochasticity and motivate the development of models that combine predicate logic with probabilities. These models de...

We propose a novel adaptive technique for detecting moving shadows and distinguishing them from moving objects in video sequences. Most methods for detecting shadows work in a stat...
Product Distribution (PD) theory is a new framework for controlling Multi-Agent Systems (MAS’s). First we review one motivation of PD theory, as the information-theoretic extens...
Bayesian methods for visual tracking model the likelihood of image measurements conditioned on a tracking hypothesis. Image measurements may, for example, correspond to various fi...
