Linear and nonlinear generative probabilistic class models for shape contours
We introduce a robust probabilistic approach to modeling shape contours based on a lowdimensional, nonlinear latent variable model. In contrast to existing techniques that use obj...

Optimization with EM and Expectation-Conjugate-Gradient
We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...
