Maximum entropy (Maxent) is useful in natural language processing and many other areas. Iterative scaling (IS) methods are one of the most popular approaches to solve Maxent. With...
: In Bayesian identification an ID source is in conflict with the other ID sources, if both provide substantially different, reliable information on a tracked object. After discuss...
There has been significant recent interest in sparse metric learning (SML) in which we simultaneously learn both a good distance metric and a low-dimensional representation. Unfor...

We present a combinatorial characterization of the Bethe entropy function of a factor graph, such a characterization being in contrast to the original, analytical, definition of th...
