A new hierarchical nonparametric Bayesian framework is proposed for the problem of multi-task learning (MTL) with sequential data. The models for multiple tasks, each characterize...

We describe a hierarchical probabilistic model for the detection and recognition of objects in cluttered, natural scenes. The model is based on a set of parts which describe the e...

Since it is hard to handcraft the prior knowledge in a shape detection framework, machine learning methods are preferred to exploit the expert annotation of the target shape in a d...

We introduce a generalized representation for a boosted classifier with multiple exit nodes, and propose a method to training which combines the idea of propagating scores across ...
We study the computational and sample complexity of parameter and structure learning in graphical models. Our main result shows that the class of factor graphs with bounded degree...
