We provide a polyhedral description of the conditions for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for a hierarchical log-linear model. The MLE exists if and only if...

A relational probability tree (RPT) is a type of decision tree that can be used for probabilistic classification of instances with a relational structure. Each leaf of an RPT cont...
Abstract. In a previous work, a new probabilistic context-free grammar (PCFG) model for natural language parsing derived from a tree bank corpus has been introduced. The model esti...
Mining for outliers in sequential databases is crucial to forward appropriate analysis of data. Therefore, many approaches for the discovery of such anomalies have been proposed. ...
Ordinal classification is a form of multi-class classification where there is an inherent ordering between the classes, but not a meaningful numeric difference between them. Althou...
