Probabilistic Temporal Head Pose Estimation Using a Hierarchical Graphical Model
We present a hierarchical graphical model to probabilistically estimate head pose angles from real-world videos, that leverages the temporal pose information over video frames. The proposed model employs a num...

Learning of Position-Invariant Object Representation Across Attention Shifts
Selective attention shift can help neural networks learn invariance. We describe a method that can produce a network with invariance to changes in visual input caused by attention shifts. Training of the netwo...
