We address the problem of finding the most likely assignment or MAP estimation in a Markov random field. We analyze the linear programming formulation of MAP through the lens of...
Probabilistic modelling of text data in the bagof-words representation has been dominated by directed graphical models such as pLSI, LDA, NMF, and discrete PCA. Recently, state of...
Over recent years, the need to introduce rapidly new telecommunications services has led to the development of the Intelligent Network (IN). These services and the increasingly com...
Subdivision-based representations are recognized as important tools for the generation of high-quality surfaces for Computer Graphics. In this paper we describe two parameterizati...
Directed graphical models with one layer of observed random variables and one or more layers of hidden random variables have been the dominant modelling paradigm in many research ...
