Lasso is a regularization method for parameter estimation in linear models. It optimizes the model parameters with respect to a loss function subject to model complexities. This p...
Bayesian networks with mixtures of truncated exponentials (MTEs) support efficient inference algorithms and provide a flexible way of modeling hybrid domains (domains containing ...

In statistics, mixture models consisting of several component subpopulations are used widely to model data drawn from heterogeneous sources. In this paper, we consider maximum lik...
Conditional log-linear models are a commonly used method for structured prediction. Efficient learning of parameters in these models is therefore an important problem. This paper ...
