We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gen...
High-dimensional data, such as images represented as points in the space spanned by their pixel values, can often be described in a significantly smaller number of dimensions than...
This paper presents a novel statistical shape model that can be used to detect and localise feature points of a class of objects in images. The shape model is inspired from the 3D...
With the growing complexity in computer systems, it has been a real challenge to detect and diagnose problems in today’s large-scale distributed systems. Usually, the correlatio...
In this paper, we propose to model the blended search problem by assuming conditional dependencies among queries, VSEs and search results. The probability distributions of this mo...
