We consider the problem of learning mixtures of product distributions over discrete domains in the distribution learning framework introduced by Kearns et al. [18]. We give a poly...
We describe a class of causal, discrete latent variable models called Multiple Multiplicative Factor models (MMFs). A data vector is represented in the latent space as a vector of...
A discrete distribution D over Σ1 × · · · × Σn is called (non-uniform) k-wise independent if for any set of k indexes {i1, . . . , ik} and for any z1 ∈ Σi1 , . . . , zk ...
Distributed Arithmetic techniques are widely used to implement Sum-of-Products computations such as calculations found in multimedia applications like FIR filtering and Discrete Co...
Many real life domains contain a mixture of discrete and continuous variables and can be modeled as hybrid Bayesian Networks (BNs). An important subclass of hybrid BNs are conditi...
