We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
Random Forests were introduced by Breiman for feature (variable) selection and improved predictions for decision tree models. The resulting model is often superior to AdaBoost and ...

Generalized additive models (GAM) for modelling nonlinear effects of continuous covariates are now well established tools for the applied statistician. In this paper we develop Ba...
This paper presents SPEX, a streamed and progressive evaluation of regular path expressions with XPath-like qualifiers against XML streams. SPEX proceeds as follows. An expression...
Analyzing sequence data has become increasingly important recently in the area of biological sequences, text documents, web access logs, etc. In this paper, we investigate the pro...
