We describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, ANT-MPE, for the most probable explanation problem in Bayesian network inference. After tuning its parameters settings, we c...

In this paper we prove the so-called "Meek Conjecture". In particular, we show that if a DAG H is an independence map of another DAG G, then there exists a finite sequen...
When a large amount of data are missing, or when multiple hidden nodes exist, learning parameters in Bayesian networks (BNs) becomes extremely difficult. This paper presents a lea...
Algorithms for learning the conditional probabilities of Bayesian networks with hidden variables typically operate within a high-dimensional search space and yield only locally op...
We propose a robust face alignment algorithm with a novel discriminative local texture model. Different from the conventional descriptive PCA local texture model in ASM, classifie...
