We consider the sequential portfolio investment problem. Building on results in signal processing, machine learning, and other areas, we use factor graphs to develop new universal...
We introduce a new causal hierarchical belief network for image segmentation. Contrary to classical tree structured (or pyramidal) models, the factor graph of the network contains...
We study the computational and sample complexity of parameter and structure learning in graphical models. Our main result shows that the class of factor graphs with bounded degree...
Based on a recent development in the area of error control coding, we introduce the notion of convolutional factor graphs (CFGs) as a new class of probabilistic graphical models. ...
Automatic tools for finding software errors require knowledge of the rules a program must obey, or “specifications,” before they can identify bugs. We present a method that ...
Abstract. Multiple sequence alignment is a key process in today’s biology, and finding a relevant alignment of several sequences is much more challenging than just optimizing so...
Abstract. We introduce a new framework for feature grouping based on factor graphs, which are graphical models that encode interactions among arbitrary numbers of random variables....
In this paper, we present a patch-based variational Bayesian framework of image processing using the language of factor graphs (FGs). The variable and factor nodes of FGs represen...
