On the Use of Virtual Evidence in Conditional Random Fields
Virtual evidence (VE), first introduced by (Pearl, 1988), provides a convenient way of incorporating prior knowledge into Bayesian networks. This work generalizes the use of VE to...

Learning Graphical Model Structure Using L1-Regularization Paths
Sparsity-promoting L1-regularization has recently been succesfully used to learn the structure of undirected graphical models. In this paper, we apply this technique to learn the ...

Structure learning with independent non-identically distributed data
There are well known algorithms for learning the structure of directed and undirected graphical models from data, but nearly all assume that the data consists of a single i.i.d. s...

Beyond Trees: Common-Factor Models for 2D Human Pose Recovery
Tree structured models have been widely used for determining the pose of a human body, from either 2D or 3D data. While such models can effectively represent the kinematic constra...
