In the last few years, research in pattern recognition has seen a remarkable shift towards hybrid models that integrate classical statistical methods with state-of-the-art deep learning techniques.

Under the most general conditions of an anisotropic Markov random field, we model the two-dimensional spatial distribution of microchips on a silicon wafer. The proposed model improves on its ...
