A Critique of Inductive Causation
: In this paper we consider the problem of inducing causal relations from statistical data. Although it is well known that a correlation does not justify the claim of a causal rela...

Norm, Point, and Distance Estimation Over Multiple Signals Using Max-Stable Distributions
Consider a set of signals fs : {1, . . . , N} [0, . . . , M] appearing as a stream of tuples (i, fs(i)) in arbitrary order of i and s. We would like to devise one pass approximat...

Collaborative Multiagent Reinforcement Learning by Payoff Propagation
In this article we describe a set of scalable techniques for learning the behavior of a group of agents in a collaborative multiagent setting. As a basis we use the framework of c...

Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

Bayesian Non-negative Matrix Factorization
Abstract. We present a Bayesian treatment of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), based on a normal likelihood and exponential priors, and derive an efficient Gibbs sampler to ...
