Particle Filter with State Permutations for Solving Image Jigsaw Puzzles
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...

Turbo Parsers: Dependency Parsing by Approximate Variational Inference
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...

Spatial-Temporal Fusion for High Accuracy Depth Maps Using Dynamic MRFs
— 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...

Graph Zeta Function in the Bethe Free Energy and Loopy Belief Propagation
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...

A Simple Insight into Iterative Belief Propagation's Success
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...

The Unified Propagation and Scaling Algorithm
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...

COST: An Approach for Camera Selection and Multi-Object Inference Ordering in Dynamic Scenes
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 for Satisfiability
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...

A Loopy Belief Propagation approach for robust background estimation
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,...
