Higher-Order Clique Reduction in Binary Graph Cut
We introduce a new technique that can reduce any higher-order Markov random field with binary labels into a first-order one that has the same minima as the original. Moreover, w...

Compact, Convex Upper Bound Iteration for Approximate POMDP Planning
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are an intuitive and general way to model sequential decision making problems under uncertainty. Unfortunately, even approx...
