—Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithms (UMDAs) are a kind of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) which do not consider the dependencies among the variables. In thi...
The principle of maximum entropy provides a powerful framework for statistical models of joint, conditional, and marginal distributions. However, there are many important distribu...
In this paper, we present an overview of generalized expectation criteria (GE), a simple, robust, scalable method for semi-supervised training using weakly-labeled data. GE fits m...
Abstract— We prove that given a nearly log-concave distribution, in any partition of the space to two well separated sets, the measure of the points that do not belong to these s...
