A standard method for approximating averages in probabilistic models is to construct a Markov chain in the product space of the random variables with the desired equilibrium distr...
Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
As text corpora become larger, tradeoffs between speed and accuracy become critical: slow but accurate methods may not complete in a practical amount of time. In order to make the...
