—Sparse representations have emerged as a powerful tool in signal and information processing, culminated by the success of new acquisition and processing techniques such as Compr...
In this paper, a competition-based connectionist model for diagnostic problem-solving is adapted to information retrieval. In this model, we treat documents as \disorders" an...
Constructing tractable dependent probability distributions over structured continuous random vectors is a central problem in statistics and machine learning. It has proven diffic...
The problem of Named Entity Generation is expressed as a conditional probability model over a structured domain. By defining a factor-graph model over the mentions of a text, we o...
On the Web of Data, entities are often interconnected in a way similar to web documents. Previous works have shown how PageRank can be adapted to achieve entity ranking. In this pa...
