In supervised learning, we commonly assume that training and test data are sampled from the same distribution. However, this assumption can be violated in practice and then standa...
Deep Belief Networks (DBN's) are generative models that contain many layers of hidden variables. Efficient greedy algorithms for learning and approximate inference have allow...
We present a novel algorithm for agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on evaluating marginal likelihoods of a probabilistic model. This algorithm has several advantages ove...
We study how to design experiments to measure the success rates of phishing attacks that are ethical and accurate, which are two requirements of contradictory forces. Namely, an e...
An important issue arising from Peer-to-Peer applications is how to accurately and efficiently retrieve a set of K best matching data objects from different sources while minimizi...
