Efficient Algorithms for Multidimensional Segmented Regression

CoRR, 2020
We study the fundamental problem of fixed design {\em multidimensional segmented regression}: Given noisy samples from a function $f$, promised to be piecewise linear on an unknown set of $k$ rectangles, we want to recover $f$ up to a desired accuracy in mean-squared error.

Video Object Segmentation by Latent Outcome Regression [PDF]

IEEE Access, 2020
This paper presents a novel algorithm for unsupervised video object segmentation (UVOS) in unconstrained scenarios. Although a large variety of methods have been proposed in the literature, segmenting generic objects is still challenging because different methods often perform well in different situations, and no single method can outperform the others
