Variational Bayesian (VB) methods are typically only applied to models in the conjugate-exponential family using the variational Bayesian expectation maximisation (VB EM) algorith...

The aim of this paper is to analyze how the generalizations built by a CBR method can be used as local approximations of a concept. From this point of view, these local approximati...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
When using Learning Object Repositories, it is interesting to have mechanisms to select the more adequate objects for each student. For this kind of adaptation, it is important to...

In many structured prediction problems, the highest-scoring labeling is hard to compute exactly, leading to the use of approximate inference methods. However, when inference is us...
