Jensen's inequality is a powerful mathematical tool and one of the workhorses in statistical learning. Its applications therein include the EM algorithm, Bayesian estimation ...
We study two-layer belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr childjparents depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. In larg...
Two main aspects of Partial Evaluation for Prolog programs are considered: treatment of cuts and control of recursion. The analysis about cut is exhaustive: we consider occurrence...
This paper introduces a set object, namely a shared object that allows processes to add and remove values as well as take a snapshot of its content. A new consistency condition su...
We consider the problem of stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation that contains instability at its free end and control on the opposite end. In contrast to classical col...
