Calibrating Parameters of Cost Functionals

Abstract

We propose a new framework for calibrating parameters of energy functionals, as used in image analysis. The method learns parameters from a family of correct examples, and given a probabilistic construct for generating wrong examples from correct ones. We introduce a measure of frustration to penalize cases in which wrong responses are preferred to correct ones, and we design a stochastic gradient algorithm which converges to parameters which minimize this measure of frustration. We also present a first set of experiments in this context, and introduce extensions to deal with data-dependent energies.
