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...
Abstract. In the 2nd Annual FOCS (1961), Chao-Kong Chow proved that every Boolean threshold function is uniquely determined by its degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. These...
Our objective is to model the visual manifold of object appearance corresponding to geometric transformation. We learn a generative model for object appearance where the appearanc...
When the training instances of the target class are heavily outnumbered by non-target training instances, SVMs can be ineffective in determining the class boundary. To remedy this...
Machine Learning algorithms allow to create highly adaptable systems, since their functionality only depends on the features of the inputs and the coefficients found during the tr...
