The observations in many applications consist of counts of discrete events, such as photons hitting a detector, which cannot be effectively modeled using an additive bounded or Ga...

Given data drawn from a mixture of multivariate Gaussians, a basic problem is to accurately estimate the mixture parameters. We provide a polynomial-time algorithm for this proble...

We study the expressibility problem: given a finite constraint language Γ on a finite domain and another relation R, can Γ express R? We prove, by an explicit family of example...
This paper concerns the reconstruction of a temporally-varying scene from a video sequence of noisy linear projections. Assuming that each video frame is sparse or compressible in...

The inverse protein folding problem is that of designing an amino acid sequence which has a prescribed native protein fold. This problem arises in drug design where a particular st...
