Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual paramete...
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a data anylsis procedure that is widely used in social and behavioral sciences in general and other applied sciences that deal with large qua...
We explore generalizations of the pari-mutuel model (PMM), a formalization of an intuitive way of assessing an upper probability from a precise one. We discuss a naive extension o...
The rectangular assignment problem is a generalization of the linear assignment problem (LAP): one wants to assign a number of persons to a smaller number of jobs, minimizing the ...
Background: The task of computing highly accurate structural alignments of proteins in very short computation time is still challenging. This is partly due to the complexity of pr...
