We present a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian models and regularized risk functionals. It is based on the propagation of mean and variance derived from the Lapla...

We study the problem of minimizing the expected loss of a linear predictor while constraining its sparsity, i.e., bounding the number of features used by the predictor. While the r...
We study the capacity allocation problem in service overlay networks (SON)s with state-dependent connection routing based on revenue maximization. We formulate the dimensioning pro...
—We investigate approximating joint distributions of random processes with causal dependence tree distributions. Such distributions are particularly useful in providing parsimoni...
