Abstract:
The development of a fully unsupervised algorithm to achieve image segmentation is the central theme of this dissertation. Existing literature falls short of such a goal providing many algorithms capable of solving a subset of this highly challenging problem. Unsupervised segmentation is the process of identifying and locating the constituent regions of an observed image, while having no prior knowledge of the number of regions. The problem can be formulated in a Bayesian framework and through the use of an assumed model unsupervised segmentation can be posed as a problem of optimisation. This

Abstract:
In this thesis we propose to use a penalized maximum conditional likelihood criterion to estimate the graph of a general discrete Markov random field. We prove the almost sure convergence of the estimator of the graph in the case of a finite or countable infinite set of variables. Our method requires minimal assumptions on the probability distribution and contrary to other approaches in the literature, the usual positivity condition is not needed. We present several examples with a finite set of vertices and study the performance of the estimator on simulated data from theses examples. We also

In the era of big data, data sets have been growing very large, and interest for algorithms and computation framework that handle such large scales is increasing. The number of computing cores per chip has also increased. Instead of developing ingenious ways of speeding up convergences and obtaining better approximations for a smaller subclass of the problems, it is interesting to simply "throw more cores" at exact algorithms and get a speed-up which scales accordingly. This allows practitioners who are not specialists to use the algorithms more efficiently. The MapReduce framework is one of t

Approximate inference methods do not try to find exact probabilities, but rather give results that improve as algorithm runs. Gibbs sampling, as one of the approximate

New view synthesis (NVS) is the problem of generating a novel image of a scene, given a set of calibrated input images of the scene, i.e. their viewpoints, and also that of the output image, are known. The problem is generally ill-posed---a large number of scenes can generate a given set of images, therefore there may be many equally likely (given the input data) output views. Some of these views will look less natural to a human observer than others, so prior knowledge of natural scenes is required to ensure that the result is visually plausible.

This thesis introduces a new way of using prior information in a spatial model and develops scalable algorithms for fitting this model to large imaging datasets.

This makes it much more feasible to apply these models to real-world problems, and enables full Bayesian inference for images with a million or more pixels.

Abstract:
Hypothesis-free learning is increasingly popular given the large amounts of data becoming available. Structure learning, a hypothesis-free approach, of graphical models is a field of growing interest due to the power of such models and lack of domain knowledge when applied on complex real-world data. State-of-the-art techniques improve on scalability of structure learning, which is often characterized by a large problem space. Nonetheless, these techniques still suffer computational bottlenecks that are yet to be approached. In this work, we focus on two popular models: dynamical linear syste
