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 ...
The singular value decomposition (SVD) is fundamental to many data modeling/mining algorithms, but SVD algorithms typically have quadratic complexity and require random access to ...
Models for sequential decision making under uncertainty (e.g., Markov decision processes,or MDPs) have beenstudied in operations research for decades. The recent incorporation of ...
Emulation is the process of exactly imitating a real system. Recent advances in simulation technology make it possible to emulate real world control systems by using a system'...
The traditional approach to building Bayesian networks is to build the graphical structure using a graphical editor and then add probabilities using a separate spreadsheet for eac...
