We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...

Abstract. The Bayesian approach to machine learning amounts to inferring posterior distributions of random variables from a probabilistic model of how the variables are related (th...
Many computer vision tasks may be expressed as the problem of learning a mapping between image space and a parameter space. For example, in human body pose estimation, recent rese...

For small samples, classi er design algorithms typically suffer from over tting. Given a set of features, a classi er must be designed and its error estimated. For small samples, ...

Statistical modeling of images plays a crucial role in modern image processing tasks like segmentation, object detection and restoration. Although Gaussian distributions are conve...
