Scaling Mcmc Inference And Belief Propagation To Large, Dense Graphical Models, Sameer Singh
Scaling Mcmc Inference And Belief Propagation To Large, Dense Graphical Models, Sameer Singh
Doctoral Dissertations
With the physical constraints of semiconductor-based electronics becoming increasingly limiting in the past decade, single-core CPUs have given way to multi-core and distributed computing platforms. At the same time, access to large data collections is progressively becoming commonplace due to the lowering cost of storage and bandwidth. Traditional machine learning paradigms that have been designed to operate sequentially on single processor architectures seem destined to become obsolete in this world of multi-core, multi-node systems and massive data sets. Inference for graphical models is one such example for which most existing algorithms are sequential in nature and are difficult to scale …
Incorporating Boltzmann Machine Priors For Semantic Labeling In Images And Videos, Andrew Kae
Incorporating Boltzmann Machine Priors For Semantic Labeling In Images And Videos, Andrew Kae
Doctoral Dissertations
Semantic labeling is the task of assigning category labels to regions in an image. For example, a scene may consist of regions corresponding to categories such as sky, water, and ground, or parts of a face such as eyes, nose, and mouth. Semantic labeling is an important mid-level vision task for grouping and organizing image regions into coherent parts. Labeling these regions allows us to better understand the scene itself as well as properties of the objects in the scene, such as their parts, location, and interaction within the scene. Typical approaches for this task include the conditional random field …
A Probabilistic Model Of Hierarchical Music Analysis, Phillip Benjamin Kirlin
A Probabilistic Model Of Hierarchical Music Analysis, Phillip Benjamin Kirlin
Doctoral Dissertations
Schenkerian music theory supposes that Western tonal compositions can be viewed as hierarchies of musical objects. The process of Schenkerian analysis reveals this hierarchy by identifying connections between notes or chords of a composition that illustrate both the small- and large-scale construction of the music. We present a new probabilistic model of this variety of music analysis, details of how the parameters of the model can be learned from a corpus, an algorithm for deriving the most probable analysis for a given piece of music, and both quantitative and human-based evaluations of the algorithm's performance. In addition, we describe the …
Weakly Supervised Learning For Unconstrained Face Processing, Gary B. Huang
Weakly Supervised Learning For Unconstrained Face Processing, Gary B. Huang
Open Access Dissertations
Machine face recognition has traditionally been studied under the assumption of a carefully controlled image acquisition process. By controlling image acquisition, variation due to factors such as pose, lighting, and background can be either largely eliminated or specifically limited to a study over a discrete number of possibilities. Applications of face recognition have had mixed success when deployed in conditions where the assumption of controlled image acquisition no longer holds. This dissertation focuses on this unconstrained face recognition problem, where face images exhibit the same amount of variability that one would encounter in everyday life. We formalize unconstrained face recognition …

Common approaches to multi-label classification learn independent classifiers for each category, and employ ranking or thresholding schemes for classification. Because they do not exploit dependencies between labels, such techniques are only well-suited to problems in which categories are independent. However, in many domains labels are highly interdependent. This paper explores multilabel conditional random field (CRF) classification models that directly parameterize label co-occurrences in multi-label classification. Experiments show that the models outperform their singlelabel counterparts on standard text corpora. Even when multilabels are sparse, the models improve subset classification error by as much as 40%.
