We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
Multi-user environments, using 3D graphics, more and more find their way into areas like e-business, entertainment and cooperative work. Due to the increasing capabilities of hard...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
We present a general encoding-decoding framework for interpreting the activity of a population of units. A standard population code interpretation method, the Poisson model, start...
This paper presents an argumentative version of the well known alternating offers negotiation protocol. The negotichanism is based on an abstract preference based argumentation fr...
