This lecture treats some enduring misconceptions about modeling. One of these is that the goal is always prediction. The lecture distinguishes between explanation and prediction a...
We introduce supervised latent Dirichlet allocation (sLDA), a statistical model of labelled documents. The model accommodates a variety of response types. We derive a maximum-like...
This paper develops analytical models to predict the throughput and the response time of a replicated database using measurements of the workload on a standalone database. These m...

Memory models define an interface between programs written in some language and their implementation, determining which behaviour the memory (and thus a program) is allowed to hav...
When attempting to code faces for modeling or recognition, estimates of dimensions are typically obtained from an ensemble. These tend to be significantly sub-optimal. Firstly, en...
