Numerous temporal inference tasks such as fault monitoring and anomaly detection exhibit a persistence property: for example, if something breaks, it stays broken until an interve...
Probabilistic modeling has been a dominant approach in Machine Learning research. As the field evolves, the problems of interest become increasingly challenging and complex. Makin...

Recently, spectral clustering (a.k.a. normalized graph cut) techniques have become popular for their potential ability at finding irregularlyshaped clusters in data. The input to...
We present a variational Bayesian framework for performing inference, density estimation and model selection in a special class of graphical models--Hidden Markov Random Fields (H...
