Variational methods have proved popular and effective for inference and learning in intractable graphical models. An attractive feature of the approaches based on the Kullback-Lei...
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for non-rigidly registering two high angular resolution diffusion weighted MRIs (HARDI), each represented by a Gaussian mixture field (G...

This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
We argue for a new aggregate function we termed the LIST function. It aggregates a set of values of one or more attributes into a single value that is internally a list of these v...
We extend Fagin’s result on the equivalence between functional dependencies in relational databases and propositional Horn clauses. It is shown that this equivalence still holds...
