Annotating lots of 3D medical images for training segmentation models is time-consuming. The goal of weakly supervised semantic segmentation is to train segmentation models without using any ground truth segmentation masks. Our work addresses the case where only image-level categorical labels indica…
In this paper, we study a nonconvex continuous relaxation of MAP inference in discrete Markov random fields (MRFs). We show that for arbitrary MRFs, this relaxation is tight, and a discrete stationary point of it can be easily reached by a simple block coordinate descent algorithm. In addition, we s…
In this work we introduce the Deforming Autoencoder, a generative model for images that disentangles shape from appearance in a latent representation space that is learned in a fully unsupervised manner. As in the deformable template paradigm, shape is represented as a diffeomorphism between a canon…
In this paper, we introduce a graph matching method that can account for constraints of arbitrary order, with arbitrary potential functions. Unlike previous decomposition approaches that rely on the graph structures, we introduce a decomposition of the matching constraints. Graph matching is then re…
Linear programming relaxations are central to MAP in- ference in discrete Markov Random Fields. The ability to properly solve the Lagrangian dual is a critical component of such methods. In this paper, we study the benefit of us- ing Newton-type methods to solve the Lagrangian dual of a smooth versi…
