Among the myriad of techniques used in estimating motion vector fields, perhaps the most popular and accurate methods are the so called gradient-based methods. A critical step in the gradient-based estimation process is the estimation of image gradients using derivative filters. It is well known that the gradientbased estimators contain significant deterministic bias relating the gradient calcu...

Minimizing Statistical Bias with Queries

I describe a querying criterion that attempts to minimize the error of a learner by minimizing its estimated squared bias. I describe experiments with locally-weighted regression on two simple problems, and observe that this "bias-only" approach outperforms the more common "variance-only" exploration approach, even in the presence of noise.
