We present sparse topical coding (STC), a non-probabilistic formulation of topic models for discovering latent representations of large collections of data. Unlike probabilistic t...
We present a method whereby an embodied agent using visual perception can efficiently create a model of a local indoor environment from its experience of moving within it. Our me...

This paper introduces a new formulation for discrete image labeling tasks, the Decision Tree Field (DTF), that combines and generalizes random forests and conditional random fiel...

In this paper, we introduce a novel particle filtering architecture to simulate uncertain emotion generation under multi-stimulus, to enrich emotions for virtual characters. Parti...

Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...
—Adapting the hyperparameters of support vector machines (SVMs) is a challenging model selection problem, especially when flexible kernels are to be adapted and data are scarce....
Abstract— In this paper we address the problem of simultaneous object class and pose estimation using nothing more than object class label measurements from a generic object clas...
Global likelihood maximization is an important aspect of many statistical analyses. Often the likelihood function is highly multi-extremal. This presents a significant challenge t...
We describe techniques for performing mobile robot localization using occupancy grids that allow subpixel localization and uncertainty estimation in the pixelized pose space. The ...
