What energy functions can be minimized via graph cuts?

by Vladimir Kolmogorov, Ramin Zabih - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2004
"... In the last few years, several new algorithms based on graph cuts have been developed to solve energy minimization problems in computer vision. Each of these techniques constructs a graph such that the minimum cut on the graph also minimizes the energy. Yet, because these graph constructions are co ..."

many previous constructions and is easily applicable to vision problems that involve large numbers of labels, such as stereo, motion, image restoration, and scene reconstruction. We give a precise characterization of what energy functions can be minimized using graph cuts, among the energy functions

Automaticity of social behavior: Direct effects of trait construct and stereotype activation on action

by John A. Bargh, Mark Chen, Lara Burrows - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1996
"... Previous research has shown that trait concepts and stereotypes become active automatically in the presence of relevant behavior or stereotyped-group features. Through the use of the same priming procedures as in previous impression formation research, Experiment l showed that participants whose con ..."

An experimental comparison of three methods for constructing ensembles of decision trees

by Thomas G. Dietterich, Doug Fisher - Bagging, boosting, and randomization. Machine Learning , 2000
"... Abstract. Bagging and boosting are methods that generate a diverse ensemble of classifiers by manipulating the training data given to a “base ” learning algorithm. Breiman has pointed out that they rely for their effectiveness on the instability of the base learning algorithm. An alternative approac ..."
Abstract - Cited by 610 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
approach to generating an ensemble is to randomize the internal decisions made by the base algorithm. This general approach has been studied previously by Ali and Pazzani and by Dietterich and Kong. This paper compares the effectiveness of randomization, bagging, and boosting for improving the performance

Pseudo-Random Generation from One-Way Functions

by Johan Håstad, Russell Impagliazzo, Leonid A. Levin, Michael Luby - PROC. 20TH STOC , 1988
"... Pseudorandom generators are fundamental to many theoretical and applied aspects of computing. We show howto construct a pseudorandom generator from any oneway function. Since it is easy to construct a one-way function from a pseudorandom generator, this result shows that there is a pseudorandom gene ..."

A Bayesian method for the induction of probabilistic networks from data

by Gregory F. Cooper, EDWARD HERSKOVITS - MACHINE LEARNING , 1992
"... This paper presents a Bayesian method for constructing probabilistic networks from databases. In particular, we focus on constructing Bayesian belief networks. Potential applications include computer-assisted hypothesis testing, automated scientific discovery, and automated construction of probabili ..."

Coarse-to-fine n-best parsing and MaxEnt discriminative reranking

by Eugene Charniak, Mark Johnson - In ACL , 2005
"... Discriminative reranking is one method for constructing high-performance statistical parsers (Collins, 2000). A discriminative reranker requires a source of candidate parses for each sentence. This paper describes a simple yet novel method for constructing sets of 50-best parses based on a co ..."

Model-Based Analysis of Oligonucleotide Arrays: Model Validation, Design Issues and Standard Error Application

by Cheng Li, Wing Hung Wong , 2001
"... Background: A model-based analysis of oligonucleotide expression arrays we developed previously uses a probe-sensitivity index to capture the response characteristic of a specific probe pair and calculates model-based expression indexes (MBEI). MBEI has standard error attached to it as a measure of ..."

Ensemble Methods in Machine Learning

by Thomas G. Dietterich - MULTIPLE CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS, LBCS-1857 , 2000
"... Ensemble methods are learning algorithms that construct a set of classifiers and then classify new data points by taking a (weighted) vote of their predictions. The original ensemble method is Bayesian averaging, but more recent algorithms include error-correcting output coding, Bagging, and boostin ..."

The English Noun Phrase in its Sentential Aspect

by Steven Paul Abney - PH.D. DISSERTATION MIT , 1987
"... This dissertation is a defense of the hypothesis that the noun phrase is headed by a functional element (i.e., "non-lexical" category) D, identified with the determiner. In this way, the structure of the noun phrase parallels that of the sentence, which is headed by Infl(ection), under ass ..."

assumptions now standard within the Government-Binding (GB) framework. The central empirical problem addressed is the question of the proper analysis of the so-called "Poss-ing" gerund in English. This construction possesses simultaneously many properties of sentences, and many properties of noun

Instrumental Variables Regression with Weak Instruments

These results are used to interpret Angrist and Krueger's (1991) estimates of the returns to education: whereas TSLS estimates with many instruments approac ..."
