We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...

Protocols for distributed systems make often use of random transitions to achieve a common goal. A popular example are randomized leader election protocols. We introduce probabilis...
In statistical language modeling, one technique to reduce the problematic effects of data sparsity is to partition the vocabulary into equivalence classes. In this paper we invest...
Self-healing relies on correct diagnosis of system malfunctioning. This paper presents a use-case based approach to self-diagnosis. Both a static and a dynamic model of a managed-s...

A situation where training and test samples follow different input distributions is called covariate shift. Under covariate shift, standard learning methods such as maximum likeli...
