We present a novel method for inferring three-dimensional shape from a collection of defocused images. It is based on the observation that defocused images are the null-space of ce...
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

A large number of learning algorithms, for example, spectral clustering, kernel Principal Components Analysis and many manifold methods are based on estimating eigenvalues and eig...
Abstract Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. A...
Gaussian process classifiers (GPCs) are Bayesian probabilistic kernel classifiers. In GPCs, the probability of belonging to a certain class at an input location is monotonically re...
