One of the major challenges in TRECstyle question-answering (QA) is to overcome the mismatch in the lexical representations in the query space and document space. This is particul...
- We present a model describing the electrical behavior of the heart tissue. Previous research in this field have studied this problem using PDEs (Partial Differential Equations) a...
We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
We consider the semi-supervised learning problem, where a decision rule is to be learned from labeled and unlabeled data. In this framework, we motivate minimum entropy regulariza...
Parameters of statistical distributions that are input to simulations are typically not known with certainty. For existing systems, or variations on existing systems, they are oft...
