It is known that a tree convex network is globally consistent if it is path consistent. However, if a tree convex network is not path consistent, enforcing path consistency on it ...
We prove that if two smooth manifolds intersect transversally, then the method of alternating projections converges locally at a linear rate. We bound the speed of convergence in ...
We investigate a higher-order query language that embeds operators of the positive relational algebra within the simply-typed λ-calculus. Our language allows one to succinctly de...
We propose a class of graphical models appropriate for structure prediction problems where the model structure is a function of the output structure. Incremental Sigmoid Belief Ne...
Privacy-preserving query-answering systems answer queries while provably guaranteeing that sensitive information is kept secret. One very attractive notion of privacy is perfect p...
