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 ...
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
Current computer security systems are based on the premise that once a user presents valid credentials to the authentication system (e.g. valid ID and password), they are granted ...
Reducing management costs and improving the availability of large-scale distributed systems require automatic replica regeneration, i.e., creating new replicas in response to repl...
One of the major problems in modeling natural signals is that signals with very similar structure may locally have completely different measurements, e.g., images taken under diff...
