In models that define probabilities via energies, maximum likelihood learning typically involves using Markov Chain Monte Carlo to sample from the model’s distribution. If the ...
We propose a novel technique for semi-supervised image annotation which introduces a harmonic regularizer based on the graph Laplacian of the data into the probabilistic semantic ...

Predictive data mining typically relies on labeled data without exploiting a much larger amount of available unlabeled data. The goal of this paper is to show that using unlabeled...

Abstract. Discriminative and generative methods provide two distinct approaches to machine learning classification. One advantage of generative approaches is that they naturally mo...
Abstract. The issue of data association arises frequently in sensor networks; whenever multiple sensors and sources are present, it may be necessary to determine which observations...
