Almost all successful machine learning algorithms and cognitive models require powerful representations capturing the features that are relevant to a particular problem. We draw o...
Based on the probabilistic reformulation of principal component analysis (PCA), we consider the problem of determining the number of principal components as a model selection prob...

In this paper we report about an investigation in which we studied the properties of Bayes' inferred neural network classifiers in the context of outlier detection. The proble...
Preliminary work by the authors made use of the so-called "Manhattan world" assumption about the scene statistics of city and indoor scenes. This assumption stated that ...
