Constraints as Data: A New Perspective on Inferring Probabilities
We present a new approach to inferring a probability distribution which is incompletely specified by a number of linear constraints. We argue that the currently most popular appro...

A configuration space of homologous proteins conserving mutual information and allowing a phylogeny inference based on pair-wise
Background: Popular methods to reconstruct molecular phylogenies are based on multiple sequence alignments, in which addition or removal of data may change the resulting tree topo...

Decomposing Local Probability Distributions in Bayesian Networks for Improved Inference and Parameter Learning
A major difficulty in building Bayesian network models is the size of conditional probability tables, which grow exponentially in the number of parents. One way of dealing with th...

Learning from multinomial data: a nonparametric predictive alternative to the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
A new model for learning from multinomial data has recently been developed, giving predictive inferences in the form of lower and upper probabilities for a future observation. Apa...
