Log-linear and maximum-margin models are two commonly-used methods in supervised machine learning, and are frequently used in structured prediction problems. Efficient learning of...

Activity recognition is a key component for creating intelligent, multi-agent systems. Intrinsically, activity recognition is a temporal classification problem. In this paper, we...

We investigate maximum likelihood parameter learning in Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and present an empirical study of pseudo-likelihood (PL) based approximations of the paramet...
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) filtering using the HuberMarkov random field (HMRF) image model has been shown in the past to be an effective method of reducing compression artifacts i...
We have recently proposed an EM-style algorithm to optimize log-linear models with hidden variables. In this paper, we use this algorithm to optimize a hidden conditional random ...
