A student's goals and attitudes while interacting with a tutor are typically unseen and unknowable. However their outward behavior (e.g. problem-solving time, mistakes and hel...
We consider the problem of inference from multinomial data with chances θ, subject to the a-priori information that the true parameter vector θ belongs to a known convex polytope...
Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

We propose the use of scatter search with path relinking for the inference of phylogenetic trees. Solutions are here represented as trees whose leaves span the set of species unde...
An important class of continuous Bayesian networks are those that have linear conditionally deterministic variables (a variable that is a linear deterministic function of its pare...
