Recently, the margin criterion has been successfully used for parameter optimization in graphical models. We introduce maximum margin based structure learning for Bayesian network...
—We present the design and implementation of a parallel exact inference algorithm on the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE). Exact inference is a key problem in exploring probabilis...
We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
An enduring mystery in biology is how a physical entity simple enough to have arisen spontaneously could have evolved into the complex life seen on Earth today. Cairns-Smith has pr...
We present a novel structure learning method, Max Margin AND/OR Graph (MM-AOG), for parsing the human body into parts and recovering their poses. Our method represents the human b...
