In this paper we introduce a novel collapsed Gibbs sampling method for the widely used
latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model. Our new method results in significant speedups on …

Automatic self-calibration of ad-hoc sensor networks is a critical need for their use in military
or civilian applications. In general, self-calibration involves the combination of absolute …

In many applications of graphical models arising in computer vision, the hidden variables of
interest are most naturally specified by continuous, non-Gaussian distributions. There exist …

We pose the problem of 3D human tracking as one of inference in a graphical model. Unlike
traditional kinematic tree representations, our model of the body is a collection of loosely …

Continuous quantities are ubiquitous in models of real-world phenomena, but are
surprisingly difficult to reason about automatically. Probabilistic graphical models such as …

We formulate the problem of 3D human pose estimation and tracking as one of inference in
a graphical model. Unlike traditional kinematic tree representations, our model of the body is …

We develop statistical methods which allow effective visual detection, categorization, and
tracking of objects in complex scenes. Such computer vision systems must be robust to wide …

This paper develops probabilistic methods for visual tracking of a three-dimensional
geometric hand model from monocular image sequences. We consider a redundant …
