We study the mining of interesting patterns in the presence of numerical attributes. Instead of the usual discretization methods, we propose the use of rank based measures to scor...
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...
We propose a novel variant of the conjugate gradient algorithm, Kernel Conjugate Gradient (KCG), designed to speed up learning for kernel machines with differentiable loss functio...
Given an m-dimensional surface in Rn , we characterize parametric curves in , which interpolate or approximate a sequence of given points pi and minimize a given energy functio...
Background: Many algorithms exist for protein structural alignment, based on internal protein coordinates or on explicit superposition of the structures. These methods are usually...
