Natural sounds are structured on many time-scales. A typical segment of speech, for example, contains features that span four orders of magnitude: Sentences (∼1 s); phonemes (...
In this paper, we present a novel image representation that renders it possible to access natural scenes by local semantic description. Our work is motivated by the continuing effo...
We consider the task of estimating, from observed data, a probabilistic model that is parameterized by a finite number of parameters. In particular, we are considering the situat...
This work presents a Log-stable model for natural images blockvariance. Exponential and halfnormal distributions have been previously used to model block-variance, but they were e...
We present a novel extension to Independent Component Analysis (ICA), where the data is generated as the product of two submodels, each of which follow an ICA model, and which comb...
