"Structured Learning and Prediction in Computer Visionᅵ  


Powerful statistical models that can be learned 
efficiently from large amounts of data are currently 
revolutionizing computer vision. These models possess 
rich internal structure reflecting task-specific
relations and constraints. 

In the first part of my talk I will introduce the most 
popular classes of structured models in computer vision:
conditional random fields and structured output support 
vector machines. 
Illustrating their similarities and differences I will
explain the most relevant algorithms for probabilistic 
inference and maximum-a-posteriori prediction, and then 
give more details about the aspect of efficient 
parameter learning from training data. 

A second part of my talk will illustrate exemplary 
applications of structured models in computer vision,
in particular for the tasks of object localization in 
natural images and image segmentation with topological
constraints.
