Multicuts and Perturb & MAP for Probabilistic Graph Clustering
We present a probabilistic graphical model formulation for the graph clustering problem. This enables to locally represent uncertainty of image partitions by approximate marginal distributions in a mathematically substantiated way, and to rectify local data term cues so as to close contours and to obtain valid partitions. We exploit recent progress on globally optimal MAP inference by integer programming and on perturbation-based approximations of the log-partition function, in order to sample clusterings and to estimate marginal distributions of node-pairs both more accurately and more efficiently than state-of-the-art methods. Our approach works for any graphically represented problem instance. This is demonstrated for image segmentation and social network cluster analysis. Our mathematical ansatz should be relevant also for other combinatorial problems.

Analysis and Optimization of Graph Decompositions by Lifted Multicuts
We study the set of all decompositions (clusterings) of a graph through its characterization as a set of lifted multicuts. This leads us to practically relevant insights related to the definition of classes of decom…
Uncertainty in Minimum Cost Multicuts for Image and Motion Segmentation
The minimum cost lifted multicut approach has proven practically good performance in a wide range of applications such as image decomposition, mesh segmentation, multiple object tracking, and motion segmentation. It addr…

Fundamental to many applications in data analysis are the decompositions of a graph, i.e. partitions of the node set into component-inducing subsets. One way of encoding decompositions is by multicuts, the subsets of tho…
Motion Trajectory Segmentation via Minimum Cost Multicuts
For the segmentation of moving objects in videos, the analysis of long-term point trajectories has been very popular recently. In this paper, we formulate the segmentation of a video sequence based on point trajectories …
