We consider the problem of learning mixtures of distributions via spectral methods and derive a tight characterization of when such methods are useful. Specifically, given a mixt...
We propose a Gaussian process (GP) framework for robust inference in which a GP prior on the mixing weights of a two-component noise model augments the standard process over laten...
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
We present a simple but efficient model for object segmentation in video scenes that integrates motion and color information in a joint probabilistic framework. Optical flow is mo...
— The MIMOME channel is a Gaussian wiretap channel in which the sender, receiver, and eavesdropper all have multiple antennas. We characterize the secrecy capacity as the saddle-...
