Tissue Classification of Noisy MR Brain Images Using Constrained GMM
We present an automated algorithm for tissue segmentation of noisy, low contrast magnetic resonance (MR) images of the brain. We use a mixture model composed of a large number of G...

Estimation of Time-Varying Parameters in Statistical Models: An Optimization Approach
Abstract. We propose a convex optimization approach to solving the nonparametric regression estimation problem when the underlying regression function is Lipschitz continuous. This...

Following the Flattened Leader
We analyze the regret, measured in terms of log loss, of the maximum likelihood (ML) sequential prediction strategy. This "follow the leader" strategy also defines one o...

Bayesian Pot-Assembly from Fragments as Problems in Perceptual-Grouping and Geometric-Learning
A heretofore unsolved problem of great archaeological importance is the automatic assembly of pots made on a wheel from the hundreds (or thousands) of sherds found at an excavatio...
