There has been a flurry of works on video sequence-based face recognition in recent years. One of the hard problems in this area is how to effectively combine the facial configu...
This paper presents a low-cost and practical approach to achieve basic input using a tactile cube-shaped object, augmented with a set of sensors, processor, batteries and wireless...

The problem of encouraging trustworthy behavior in P2P online communities by managing peers’ reputations has drawn a lot of attention recently. However, most of the proposed solu...
We give a fast and practical algorithm for statistical learning hyperparameters from observable data in probabilistic image processing, which is based on Gaussian graphical model ...
We present a new approach for the identification and segmentation of objects undergoing periodic motion. Our method uses a combination of maximum likelihood estimation of the per...
In this paper, we introduce a new instance-based approach to the label ranking problem. This approach is based on a probability model on rankings which is known as the Mallows mode...
In previous work, we showed that using a lattice instead of the 1-best path to represent both the query and the utterance being searched is beneficial for spoken keyword spotting...
We propose a convex optimization method for maximum likelihood estimation of autoregressive models, subject to conditional independence constraints. This problem is an extension t...

In this paper, a novel learning algorithm for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) has been devised. The key issue is the achievement of a sparse model, i.e., a model in which all irreleva...
Skewed distributions appear very often in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional Zipf distribution often fails to model them well. In this paper, we propose a new probability di...
