“Energy” models for continuous domains can be applied to many problems, but often suffer from high computational expense in training, due to the need to repeatedly minimize t...
This paper introduces an object-passing model for parallel and distributed application development. Object passing provides the object-oriented application developer with powerful...
This paper proposes a novel Bayesian approximation inference method for mixture modeling. Our key idea is to factorize marginal log-likelihood using a variational distribution ove...
Set-based analysis is a constraint-based whole program analysis that is applicable to functional and objectoriented programming languages. Unfortunately, the analysis is useless f...
Templates are a powerful but poorly understood feature of the C++ language. Their syntax resembles the parameterized classes of other languages (e.g., of Java). But because C++ sup...
