We deal with an image jigsaw puzzle problem, which is defined as reconstructing an image from a set of square and non-overlapping image patches. It is known that a general instan...
We present a unified view of two state-of-theart non-projective dependency parsers, both approximate: the loopy belief propagation parser of Smith and Eisner (2008) and the relaxe...
— Time-of-flight range sensors and passive stereo have complimentary characteristics in nature. To fuse them to get high accuracy depth maps varying over time, we extend traditi...

We propose a new approach to the analysis of Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) by establishing a formula that connects the Hessian of the Bethe free energy with the edge zeta functio...
In non-ergodic belief networks the posterior belief of many queries given evidence may become zero. The paper shows that when belief propagation is applied iteratively over arbitr...
This paper presents a new deterministic approximation technique in Bayesian networks. This method, "Expectation Propagation," unifies two previous techniques: assumed-de...
In this paper we will show that a restricted class of constrained minimum divergence problems, named generalized inference problems, can be solved by approximating the KL divergen...
Development of multiple camera based vision systems for analysis of dynamic objects such as humans is challenging due to occlusions and similarity in the appearance of a person wi...
Loop Calculus, introduced by Chertkov and Chernyak, is a new technique to incrementally improve approximations computed by Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP), with the ability to even...
Background estimation, i.e. automatic recovery of the background image from a sequence of images containing moving foreground objects, is an important module in many applications,...
