    Natural Image Segmentation with Adaptive Texture and Boundary Encoding

    We present a novel algorithm for unsupervised segmentation of natural images that harnesses the principle of minimum description length (MDL). Our method is based on observations that a homogeneously textured ...

    Segmentation of Natural Images by Texture and Boundary Compression

    We present a novel algorithm for segmentation of natural images that harnesses the principle of minimum description length (MDL). Our method is based on observations that a homogeneously textured region of a n...

    Deep Learning via Semi-supervised Embedding

    We show how nonlinear semi-supervised embedding algorithms popular for use with “shallow” learning techniques such as kernel methods can be easily applied to deep multi-layer architectures, either as a regular...

    Coarse-to-Fine Minimization of Some Common Nonconvexities

    The continuation method is a popular heuristic in computer vision for nonconvex optimization. The idea is to start from a simplified problem and gradually deform it to the actual problem while tracking the sol...

    On the Link between Gaussian Homotopy Continuation and Convex Envelopes

    The continuation method is a popular heuristic in computer vision for nonconvex optimization. The idea is to start from a simplified problem and gradually deform it to the actual task while tracking the soluti...

    A Bayesian State-Space Approach for Damage Detection and Classification

    The problem of automatic damage detection in civil structures is complex and requires a system that can interpret sensor data into meaningful information. We apply our recently developed switching Bayesian mod...
