Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...

—We consider the problem of inferring and modeling topics in a sequence of documents with known publication dates. The documents at a given time are each characterized by a topic...

Constructing models of mobile agents can be difficult without domain-specific knowledge. Parametric models flexible enough to capture all mobility patterns that an expert believes...

In this paper we present a family of models and learning algorithms that can simultaneously align and cluster sets of multidimensional curves measured on a discrete time grid. Our...
We propose using simple mixture models to define a set of mid-level binary local features based on binary oriented edge input. The features capture natural local structures in the...
