In a dynamic social or biological environment, interactions between the underlying actors can undergo large and systematic changes. Each actor can assume multiple roles and their ...
We consider the problem of embedding arbitrary objects (e.g., images, audio, documents) into Euclidean space subject to a partial order over pairwise distances. Partial order cons...
Supervised topic models utilize document's side information for discovering predictive low dimensional representations of documents; and existing models apply likelihoodbased...
We present a generalized version of spectral clustering using the graph p-Laplacian, a nonlinear generalization of the standard graph Laplacian. We show that the second eigenvecto...
The general stochastic optimal control (SOC) problem in robotics scenarios is often too complex to be solved exactly and in near real time. A classical approximate solution is to ...
