A few things I've learned about Markov Random Fields for image modeling

Most of my work on image modeling so far has focused on directed graphical models. Undirected models, however, are a much more natural description in many cases. I will describe an image model based on a markov random field, and then consider how to estimate the free parameters of the model. Since I have no real results yet, this will be quite a theory-oriented talk. If you already know the relevant theory, you might want to stay away. However, I'd prefer if you came and fixed all my misconceptions...
