Approximations to Magic: Finding Unusual Medical Time Series
In this work we introduce the new problem of finding time series discords. Time series discords are subsequences of longer time series that are maximally different to all the rest...

A Deterministic Strongly Polynomial Algorithm for Matrix Scaling and Approximate Permanents
We present a deterministic strongly polynomial algorithm that computes the permanent of a nonnegative n × n matrix to within a multiplicative factor of en. To this end we develop...

An Efficient Approximation to Lookahead in Relational Learners
Abstract. Greedy machine learning algorithms suffer from shortsightedness, potentially returning suboptimal models due to limited exploration of the search space. Greedy search mis...

Large Deviation Methods for Approximate Probabilistic Inference
We study two-layer belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr childjparents depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. In larg...
