Background: We present a novel method to encode ambiguously aligned regions in fixed multiple sequence alignments by ‘Pairwise Identity and Cost Scores Ordination’ (PICS-Ord)....

Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...
Abstract--In this paper, we propose a maximum-entropy expectation-maximization (MEEM) algorithm. We use the proposed algorithm for density estimation. The maximum-entropy constrain...
The use of Bayesian networks for classification problems has received significant recent attention. Although computationally efficient, the standard maximum likelihood learning me...
In this paper, we introduce a new instance-based approach to the label ranking problem. This approach is based on a probability model on rankings which is known as the Mallows mode...
