We consider the problem of learning multiscale graphical models. Given a collection of variables along with covariance specifications for these variables, we introduce hidden var...

We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...

A multitask learning framework is developed for discriminative classification and regression where multiple large-margin linear classifiers are estimated for different predictio...
We present conditional random fields, a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hid...

We propose a convex optimization method for maximum likelihood estimation of autoregressive models, subject to conditional independence constraints. This problem is an extension t...
