Variational methods for model comparison have become popular in the neural computing/machine learning literature. In this paper we explore their application to the Bayesian analys...
— Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is often used to evaluate ranking performance in binary classification problems. Several researchers have approached AUC optimization by approxi...
Model-based image recognition requires a general model of the object that should be detected in an image. In many applications such models are not known a-priori instead of they mu...
In online tracking, the tracker evolves to reflect variations in object appearance and surroundings. This updating process is formulated as a supervised learning problem, thus a ...
Variational methods have proved popular and effective for inference and learning in intractable graphical models. An attractive feature of the approaches based on the Kullback-Lei...
