Making judgments by relying on beliefs about the causal relationships between events is a fundamental capacity of everyday cognition. In the last decade, Causal Bayesian Networks have been proposed as a framework for modeling causal reasoning. Two experiments were conducted to provide comprehensive data sets with which to evaluate a variety of different types of judgments in comparison to the s...

Large scale machine learning produces massive datasets whose items are often associated with a confidence level and can thus be ranked. However, computing the precision of these resources requires human annotation, which is often prohibitively expensive and is therefore skipped. We consider the problem of cost-effectively approximating precisionrecall (PR) or ROC curves for such systems. Our no...

We propose Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling methods to address uncertainty estimation in disparity computation. We consider this problem at a postprocessing stage, i.e. once the disparity map has been computed, and suppose that the only information available is the stereoscopic pair. The method, which consists of sampling from the posterior distribution given the stereoscopic pair, allows the ...
