In this paper, we develop a novel online algorithm based on the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers framework for posterior inference in Dirichlet Process Mixtures (DPM) (DelMor...
Basis Pursuit (BP) finds a minimum ℓ1-norm vector z that satisfies the underdetermined linear system Mz = b, where the matrix M and vector b are given. Lately, BP has attracte...
Database appliances offer fully integrated hardware, storage, operating system, database, and related software in a single package. Database appliances have a relatively long hist...
Abstract. Given a graph with billions of nodes and edges, how can we find patterns and anomalies? Are there nodes that participate in too many or too few triangles? Are there clos...
