We consider a hierarchical two-layer model of natural signals in which both layers are learned from the data. Estimation is accomplished by Score Matching, a recently proposed est...
Facial expression interpretation, recognition and analysis is a key issue in visual communication and man to machine interaction. In this paper, we present a technique for extract...
This paper addresses the problem of segmenting an image into regions consistent with user-supplied seeds (e.g., a sparse set of broad brush strokes). We view this task as a statis...
In the analysis of natural images, Gaussian scale mixtures (GSM) have been used to account for the statistics of filter responses, and to inspire hierarchical cortical representat...

It has been suggested that the primary goal of the sensory system is to represent input in such a way as to reduce the high degree of redundancy. Given a noisy neural representati...
