Abstract. Compared to normal learning algorithms, for example backpropagation, the optimal bounded ellipsoid (OBE) algorithm has some better properties, such as faster convergence,...
We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
A formula in first-order logic can be viewed as a tree, with a logical connective at each node, and a knowledge base can be viewed as a tree whose root is a conjunction. Markov l...
This paper presents a control structure for general purpose image understanding that addresses both the high level of uncertainty in local hypotheses and the computational complex...
This paper studies the feasibility and interpretation of learning the causal structure from observational data with the principles behind the Kolmogorov Minimal Sufficient Statist...
