Ordering a set of items so as to minimize the sum of distances between consecutive elements is a fundamental optimization problem occurring in many settings. While it is NP-hard i...
An interesting problem in Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is to factorize the matrix X which is of some specific class, for example, binary matrix. In this paper, we exten...

We present a problem of factor analysis of three-way binary data, i.e. data described by a 3-dimensional binary matrix I, describing a relationship between objects, attributes, an...
The sequential importance sampling (SIS) algorithm has gained considerable popularity for its empirical success. One of its noted applications is to the binary contingency tables p...
We introduce a new technique that can reduce any
higher-order Markov random field with binary labels into
a first-order one that has the same minima as the original.
Moreover, w...
