Efficiently Learning Random Fields for Stereo Vision with Sparse Message Passing
As richer models for stereo vision are constructed, there is a growing interest in learning model parameters. To estimate parameters in Markov Random Field (MRF) based stereo formu...

Coarse-to-Fine Inference and Learning for First-Order Probabilistic Models
Coarse-to-fine approaches use sequences of increasingly fine approximations to control the complexity of inference and learning. These techniques are often used in NLP and visio...

Approximate Inference in Additive Factorial HMMs with Application to Energy Disaggregation
This paper considers additive factorial hidden Markov models, an extension to HMMs where the state factors into multiple independent chains, and the output is an additive function...

Unifying Divergence Minimization and Statistical Inference Via Convex Duality
Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...

Sampling community structure
We propose a novel method, based on concepts from expander graphs, to sample communities in networks. We show that our sampling method, unlike previous techniques, produces subgra...
