We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
We propose a copula based statistical method of fitting joint cumulative returns between a market index and a stock from the index family to daily data. Modifying the method of in...
We propose a method for choosing the number of colors or true gray levels in an image; this allows fully automatic segmentation of images. Our underlying probability model is a hid...
Traditional computer vision and machine learning algorithms have been largely studied in a centralized setting, where all the processing is performed at a single central location....
We state and analyze the first active learning algorithm which works in the presence of arbitrary forms of noise. The algorithm, A2 (for Agnostic Active), relies only upon the ass...
