We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
Abstract. Software agent technology has attracted much attention for developing various distributed systems, composed of autonomous agents interacting with one another using partic...
We present a new method for carrying out state estimation in multiagent settings that are characterized by continuous or large discrete state spaces. State estimation in multiagen...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
With the Object-Reference (ORef) approach, the traditional object-oriented model is extended with references to act as a canonical model. Our ORef model facilitates the storage of ...
