Graphical models provide a powerful framework for stochastic processes by representing dependencies among random variables compactly with graphs. In particular, multiscale tree-structured graphs have attracted much attention ...

This thesis examines the problem of clustering multiple, related sets of data simultaneously. Given datasets which are in some way connected (e.g. temporally) but which do not necessarily share label compatibility, we ...

The availability of low-cost wide-spectrum sensors in digital SLR cameras, LED emitters of various wavelengths, and the small form factor of solid state electronics makes it possible to begin to explore the capture of ...

This thesis describes a framework for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing dynamic data, particularly data gathered through Web questionnaires. The framework addresses challenges such as promoting user participation, ...
