A Unified Framework for Event Summarization and Rare Event Detection
A novel approach for event summarization and rare event detection is proposed. Unlike conventional methods that deal with event summarization and rare event detection independently...

Decrypting classical cipher text using Markov chain Monte Carlo
In this paper, we present the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to attack the classical ciphers. We use frequency analysis as our basic tool. First we investigate the...

Perturb-and-MAP Random Fields: Using Discrete Optimization\\to Learn and Sample from Energy Models
We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...

Hybrid in-database inference for declarative information extraction
In the database community, work on information extraction (IE) has centered on two themes: how to effectively manage IE tasks, and how to manage the uncertainties that arise in th...

Parallel multivariate slice sampling
Slice sampling provides an easily implemented method for constructing a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. However, slice sampling has two major drawbacks: (i) it requires...

Generalized darting Monte Carlo
One of the main shortcomings of Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers is their inability to mix between modes of the target distribution. In this paper we show that advance knowledge ...

Exploiting long-term observations for track creation and deletion in online multi-face tracking
— In many visual multi-object tracking applications, the question when to add or remove a target is not trivial due to, for example, erroneous outputs of object detectors or obse...

Enhanced Poisson sum representation for alpha-stable processes
In this paper we present Poisson sum series representations for α-stable (αS) random variables and α-stable processes, in particular concentrating on continuous-time autoregres...

A Bernoulli-Gaussian model for gene factor analysis
This paper investigates a Bayesian model and a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for gene factor analysis. Each sample in the dataset is decomposed as a linear combination...
