An efficient “Simulation Optimization” technique is developed to solve system design problems which can not be expressed in explicit analytical or mathematical models. In part...
Simulation of existing systems can reinforce a Subject Matter Expert’s gut feelings. However, it is more difficult to develop intuition for proposed systems, particularly when c...

Graphical models have become the basic framework for topic based probabilistic modeling. Especially models with latent variables have proved to be effective in capturing hidden str...
This paper focuses on whether learners of basic music theory may find a multiple-media independent open learner model useful to explore their knowledge of harmony concepts. Learner...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
