We describe latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model for collections of discrete data such as text corpora. LDA is a three-level hierarchical Bayesian m...
Marching Ridges is an algorithm for finding ridges of measurement functions defined for images, in which the ridges are defined as level sets of first derivatives of the measureme...
Filtering denotes any method whereby an agent updates its belief state—its knowledge of the state of the world—from a sequence of actions and observations. In logical filterin...
We address the task of problem determination in a distributed system using probes, or test transactions, which gather information about system components. Effective probing requir...

Mixtures of truncated exponentials (MTE) potentials are an alternative to discretization for representing continuous chance variables in influence diagrams. Also, MTE potentials c...
