The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
The max-sum classifier predicts n-tuple of labels from n-tuple of observable variables by maximizing a sum of quality functions defined over neighbouring pairs of labels and obser...
Protein structure prediction aims to determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins form their amino acid sequences. When a protein does not have similarity (homology) to a...
Like most natural language disambiguation tasks, word sense disambiguation (WSD) requires world knowledge for accurate predictions. Several proxies for this knowledge have been in...
Quality control and resource optimization are challenging problems in peer-assisted video streaming systems, due to their large scales and unreliable peer behavior. Such systems a...
