Several ways of using singular value decomposition (SVD), a linear algebra technique typically used for information retrieval, to decompose problems into subproblems are investiga...
Many structured information extraction tasks employ collective graphical models that capture interinstance associativity by coupling them with various clique potentials. We propos...
In contrast with classical reasoning, where a solution is either correct or incorrect, approximate reasoning tries to compute solutions which are close to the ideal solution, with...

We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
We consider finite element operators defined on "rough" functions in a bounded polyhedron in RN . Insisting on preserving positivity in the approximations, we discover a...
