This paper presents a mathematical

This paper presents a mathematical framework for visual learning that integrates two popular statistical learning paradigms in the literature: (I). Descriptive learning, such as Markov random fields and minimax entropy learning, and (II). Generative learning, such as PCA, ICA, TCA, image coding and HMM.
We apply this integrated learning framework to texton modeling, and we assume that an observed texture image is generated by multiple layers of hidden stochastic “texton processes” with each texton being a window function, like a mini-template or a wavelet, under affine transformations. The spatial arrangements of the textons are characterized by minimax entropy models. The texton processes generate images by occlusion or linear addition.
Thus given a raw input image, the learning framework achieves four goals: (i). Computing the appearance of the textons.
(ii) Inferring the hidden stochastic texton processes. (iii).

1. Learning Gibbs models for each texton process and (iv).
2. Verifying the learnt textons and Gibbs models through random sampling and texture synthesis.
3. The integrated framework subsumes the minimax entropy learning paradigm and creates a richer class of probability models for visual patterns, which are suited for middle level vision representations.

Furthermore we show that the integration of description and generative methods yields a natural and general framework of visual learning. We demonstrate the proposed framework and algorithms on many real images IEEE Communications Society members: If you subscribe to the IEEE Electronic Periodicals Package or IEEE Electronic Periodicals Package Plus, you must access your subscription at.

Two-part sequence on new techniques for

1. Two-part sequence on new techniques for predictive and descriptive learning using ideas that bridge gasp among statistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.
2. Emphasis is on statistical aspects of their application and integration with more standard statistical methodology.

1. Predictive learning refers to estimating models from data with the goal of predicting future outcomes, in particular, regression and classification models.
2. Descriptive learning is used to discover general patterns and relationships in data without a specific predictive goal.
3. From a statistical perspective, it can be viewed as computer automated exploratory analysis of usually large complex data sets..
