Estimating the probability of a rare event over a finite time horizon
We study an approximation for the zero-variance change of measure to estimate the probability of a rare event in a continuous-time Markov chain. The rare event occurs when the cha...

Similarity-Based Estimation of Word Cooccurrence Probabilities
In many applications of natural language processing it is necessary to determine the likelihood of a given word combination. For example, a speech recognizer may need to determine...

Continuous Optimization of Hyper-Parameters
Many machine learning algorithms can be formulated as the minimization of a training criterion which involves (1) \training errors" on each training example and (2) some hype...
