Convex Relaxations of Latent Variable Training
We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...

Supervised Topic Models
We introduce supervised latent Dirichlet allocation (sLDA), a statistical model of labelled documents. The model accommodates a variety of response types. We derive a maximum-like...

Graph Orientation Algorithms to Minimize the Maximum Outdegree
We study the problem of orienting the edges of a weighted graph such that the maximum weighted outdegree of vertices is minimized. This problem, which has applications in the guar...

Stochastic Deliberation Scheduling using GSMDPs
We propose a new decision-theoretic approach for solving execution-time deliberation scheduling problems using recent advances in Generalized Semi-Markov Decision Processes (GSMDP...
