We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...

Interrupt behaviors, especially the external ones, are difficult to verify in a microprocessor design project in that they involve both interacting hardware and software. This pap...
Estimating the effort required for software process activities continues to present difficulties for software engineers, particularly given the uncertainty and subjectivity associ...
We develop a cyclical blockwise coordinate descent algorithm for the multi-task Lasso that efficiently solves problems with thousands of features and tasks. The main result shows ...
Many learning algorithms rely on the curvature (in particular, strong convexity) of regularized objective functions to provide good theoretical performance guarantees. In practice...
