First-Order Extension of the FLP Stable Model
... 1 (u, v, w))
can be equivalently rewritten without second-order variables
as ¬(p ↔ q) ∧ (r ↔ p ∨ q).
Though rule arrows (←) are treated like usual implications
in the FOL-representation of Π, they are distinguished in the
definition of Π4 (u) because of the presence of ’B∧’ in (7).
If we modify Π4 ( ...
Recognizing solid objects by alignment with an image
... point, for m model points and n image points there are
(~)(~)3! possible different alignments, resulting from
pairing each triple of model points with each triple of
image points. Thus for point features the worst-case
number of hypotheses is O(m3n3). The implementation
that we describe below relies ...

Using Natural Image Priors
... applied to linear filters learned specifically for this task (similar to the exponential family
form in equation 1.2) where the local filters and the nonlinear functions are learned using
contrastive divergence. Given a noisy image, the MAP image can be inferred using

maximise the likelihood with respect to the selected features.
I We show that the IAMB algorithm [3] for Markov Blanket discovery also
optimises this model, using a sparsity prior.

One-shot learning
One-shot learning is an object categorization problem of current research interest in computer vision. Whereas most machine learning based object categorization algorithms require training on hundreds or thousands of images and very large datasets, one-shot learning aims to learn information about object categories from one, or only a few, training images. The primary focus of this article will be on the solution to this problem presented by L. Fei-Fei, R. Fergus and P. Perona in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Vol28(4), 2006, which uses a generative object category model and variational Bayesian framework for representation and learning of visual object categories from a handful of training examples. Another paper, presented at the International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2000 by Erik Miller, Nicholas Matsakis, and Paul Viola will also be discussed.
