Logic-based probabilistic models (LBPMs) enable us to handle problems with uncertainty succinctly thanks to the expressive power of logic. However, most of LBPMs have restrictions...
There has been an increased demand for characterizing user access patterns using web mining techniques since the informative knowledge extracted from web server log files can not ...
We introduce a probabilistic formalism subsuming Markov random fields of bounded tree width and probabilistic context free grammars. Our models are based on a representation of Bo...

We consider a probabilistic model for the Steiner Tree problem. Under this model the problem is defined in a 2-stage setting over a first-stage complete weighted graph having it...
The label switching problem is caused by the likelihood of a Bayesian mixture model being invariant to permutations of the labels. The permutation can change multiple times betwee...
