Variational Relevance Vector Machines
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) of Vapnik [9] has become widely established as one of the leading approaches to pattern recognition and machine learning. It expresses predictions...

The Complexity of Decentralized Control of Markov Decision Processes
We consider decentralized control of Markov decision processes and give complexity bounds on the worst-case running time for algorithms that find optimal solutions. Generalization...

Learning Mixtures of DAG Models
We describe computationally efficient methods for learning mixtures in which each component is a directed acyclic graphical model (mixtures of DAGs or MDAGs). We argue that simple...

Context-specific approximation in probabilistic inference
There is evidence that the numbers in probabilistic inference don't really matter. This paper considers the idea that we can make a probabilistic model simpler by making fewe...

Learning From What You Don't Observe
The process of diagnosis involves learning about the state of a system from various observations of symptoms or findings about the system. Sophisticated Bayesian (and other) algor...

Flexible Decomposition Algorithms for Weakly Coupled Markov Decision Problems
This paper presents two new approaches to decomposing and solving large Markov decision problems (MDPs), a partial decoupling method and a complete decoupling method. In these app...

A Multivariate Discretization Method for Learning Bayesian Networks from Mixed Data
In this paper we address the problem of discretization in the context of learning Bayesian networks (BNs) from data containing both continuous and discrete variables. We describe ...

An Experimental Comparison of Several Clustering and Initialization Methods
We examine methods for clustering in high dimensions. In the first part of the paper, we perform an experimental comparison between three batch clustering algorithms: the Expectat...
