Simulating independence: new constructions of condensers, ramsey graphs, dispersers, and extractors
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

Implicit Active-Contouring with MRF
In this paper, we present a new image segmentation method based on energy minimization for iteratively evolving an implicit active contour. Methods for active contour evolution is ...

Hallucinating faces from thermal infrared images
This paper addresses the face hallucination problem of converting thermal infrared face images into photo-realistic ones. It is a challenging task because the two modalities are o...

Training structural SVMs when exact inference is intractable
While discriminative training (e.g., CRF, structural SVM) holds much promise for machine translation, image segmentation, and clustering, the complex inference these applications ...
