Learning Deep Structured Models

Chen, Liang-Chieh, Schwing, Alexander G., Yuille, Alan L. et al.

Understand

Many problems in real-world applications involve predicting several random variables which are statistically related.

  • Markov random fields (MRFs) are a great mathematical tool to encode such relationships.
  • The goal of this paper is to combine MRFs with deep learning algorithms to estimate complex representations while taking into account the dependencies between the output random variables.
  • Towards this goal, we propose a training algorithm that is able to learn structured models jointly with deep features that form the MRF potentials.
