We present a novel method for inducing synchronous context free grammars (SCFGs) from a corpus of parallel string pairs. SCFGs can model equivalence between strings in terms of su...
In previous work on "transformed mixtures of Gaussians" and "transformed hidden Markov models", we showed how the EM algorithm in a discrete latent variable mo...
Many state-of-the-art face recognition algorithms use image descriptors based on features known as Local Binary Patterns (LBPs). While many variations of LBP exist, so far none of ...
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...
Abstract. In this paper we present an accurate cardiac boundary tracking method for 2D tagged MRI time sequences. This method naturally integrates the motion and the static local a...
