Evolutionary MCMC Sampling and Optimization in Discrete Spaces
The links between genetic algorithms and population-based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are explored. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are well-known for their capability to opt...

Semi-Supervised Learning Using Gaussian Fields and Harmonic Functions
An approach to semi-supervised learning is proposed that is based on a Gaussian random field model. Labeled and unlabeled data are represented as vertices in a weighted graph, wit...
