We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
We pose a fundamental question in understanding how to identify and design successful communities: What factors predict whether a community will grow and survive in the long term?...
—In this paper we present an Information Theoretic Estimator for the number of sources mutually disjoint in a linear mixing model. The approach follows the Minimum Description Le...
Orthogonal range reporting is the problem of storing a set of n points in d-dimensional space, such that the k points in an axis-orthogonal query box can be reported efficiently. ...
Background: Gene silencing using exogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is now a widespread molecular tool for gene functional study and new-drug target identification. The key...
