Hierarchical probabilistic modeling of discrete data has emerged as a powerful tool for text analysis. Posterior inference in such models is intractable, and practitioners rely on...
We describe an innovative solution to the problem of scheduling astronomy observations for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, an airborne observatory. The probl...
In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...
We consider the problem of estimating the relative orientation of a number of individual photocells -or pixels- that hold fixed relative positions. The photocells measure the inte...
The relation between atomistic structure, architecture, molecular weight and material properties is a basic concern of modern soft material science. This by now goes far beyond st...
