Videos from distributed sources (e.g., broadcasts, podcasts, blogs, etc.) have grown exponentially. Topic threading is very useful for organizing such large-volume information sou...
We propose a framework for modeling sequence motifs based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP). We recommend approximating short sequence motif distributions with the maximum en...
