This paper proposes a framework that provides significant speed-ups and also improves the effectiveness of general message passing algorithms based on dual LP relaxations. It is ap...
There has been a flurry of works on video sequence-based face recognition in recent years. One of the hard problems in this area is how to effectively combine the facial configu...
We describe and explore a new perspective on the sample complexity of active learning. In many situations where it was generally believed that active learning does not help, we sh...
