Discriminative training of graphical models can be expensive if the variables have large cardinality, even if the graphical structure is tractable. In such cases, pseudolikelihood...
Coronary Heart Disease can be diagnosed by assessing the regional motion of the heart walls in ultrasound images of the left ventricle. Even for experts, ultrasound images are dif...
We address the issue of classifying complex data. We focus on three main sources of complexity, namely, the high dimensionality of the observed data, the dependencies between these...
Most standard learning algorithms, such as Logistic Regression (LR) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM), are designed to deal with i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed...

Contextual reasoning through graphical models such as Markov Random Fields often show superior performance against local classifiers in many domains. Unfortunately, this performanc...
