Probabilistic Relaxation as an Optimizer.
A.J. Stoddart, Michael F. Petrou, Josef Kittler · 1995
Probabilistic Relaxation with product support has been shown to have advantages over 'traditional ' probabilistic relaxation. However it is less well understood in the sense that a cost function is not known. In this paper we present a cost function. This greatly improves our understanding of probabilistic relaxation with product support, and also leads us to propose a new class of probabilistic relaxation algorithms. We investigate two applications. 1
