We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
Software Product-lines (SPLs) use modular software components that can be reconfigured into different variants for different requirements sets. Feature modeling is a common method...
We consider the problem of efficiently learning optimal control policies and value functions over large state spaces in an online setting in which estimates must be available afte...
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) aims at gaining useful information quickly from large amounts of data residing in a data warehouse. To improve the quickness of response to qu...
