An important extension of satisfiability testing is model-counting, a task that corresponds to problems such as probabilistic reasoning and computing the permanent of a Boolean ma...
In this work, we present a new semantic language modeling approach to model news stories in the Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) task. In the new approach, we build a unigram la...
Precision achieved by stochastic sampling algorithms for Bayesian networks typically deteriorates in face of extremely unlikely evidence. To address this problem, we propose the E...
Finite mixture model is a powerful tool in many statistical learning problems. In this paper, we propose a general, structure-preserving approach to reduce its model complexity, w...
We present an approach to low-level vision that combines two main ideas: the use of convolutional networks as an image processing architecture and an unsupervised learning procedu...
