We propose Laplace max-margin Markov networks (LapM3 N), and a general class of Bayesian M3 N (BM3 N) of which the LapM3 N is a special case with sparse structural bias, for robus...
The traditional, well established approach to finding out what works in education research is to run a randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a standard pretest and posttest desig...

The linear model with sparsity-favouring prior on the coefficients has important applications in many different domains. In machine learning, most methods to date search for maxim...
In this paper, we focus on the challenge that users face in processing messages on the web posted in participatory media settings, such as blogs. It is desirable to recommend to us...
Bayesian Network (BN) is a powerful network model, which represents a set of variables in the domain and provides the probabilistic relationships among them. But BN can handle dis...
