In this work we examine nine different sources for user similarity as reflected by activity in social media applications. We suggest a classification of these sources into three c...

—A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences, say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new “normalized in...

We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...
Abstract--We consider using traceroute-like end-to-end measurement to infer the underlay topology for a group of hosts. One major issue is the measurement cost. Given hosts in an a...

Lifting can greatly reduce the cost of inference on firstorder probabilistic graphical models, but constructing the lifted network can itself be quite costly. In online applicatio...
