Recent work has shown that one can learn the structure of Gaussian Graphical Models by imposing an L1 penalty on the precision matrix, and then using efficient convex optimization...
Minimum-error-rate training (MERT) is a bottleneck for current development in statistical machine translation because it is limited in the number of weights it can reliably optimi...
In this paper we describe an ant system algorithm (ASMC) for the problem of finding the maximum clique in a given graph. In the algorithm each ant has only local knowledge of the ...
This paper details a technique, called inter-block backtracking (IBB), which improves interval solving of decomposed systems with non-linear equations over the reals. This techniqu...
Electron Microscopy is a valuable tool for the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of macromolecular complexes. Knowledge about the macromolecular structure provides imp...
