We apply the Message from Monte Carlo (MMC) algorithm to inference of univariate polynomials. MMC is an algorithm for point estimation from a Bayesian posterior sample. It partiti...
We investigate maximum likelihood parameter learning in Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and present an empirical study of pseudo-likelihood (PL) based approximations of the paramet...
We propose a class of Bayesian networks appropriate for structured prediction problems where the Bayesian network's model structure is a function of the predicted output stru...
Tsochantaridis et al. (2005) proposed two formulations for maximum margin training of structured spaces: margin scaling and slack scaling. While margin scaling has been extensivel...
We address instance-based learning from a perceptual organization standpoint and present methods for dimensionality estimation, manifold learning and function approximation. Under...
