Optimal Computing Budget Allocation Under Correlated Sampling
We consider the optimal computing budget allocation (OCBA) problem where the simulated designs are correlated. The exact optimal allocation is presented for two designs, and an ap...

An Empirical Evaluation of Probabilistic Lexicalized Tree Insertion Grammars
We present an empirical study of the applicability of Probabilistic Lexicalized Tree Insertion Grammars (PLTIG), a lexicalized counterpart to Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (...

A Study on Initialization for BP Networks
This paper proposes an initialization of back propagation (BP) networks for pattern classification problems; the weights of hidden units are initialized so that hyperplanes should...

Maximum Conditional Likelihood via Bound Maximization and the CEM Algorithm
We present the CEM (Conditional Expectation Maximization) algorithm as an extension of the EM (Expectation Maximization) algorithm to conditional density estimation under missing ...

Inference in Multilayer Networks via Large Deviation Bounds
We study probabilistic inference in large, layered Bayesian networks represented as directed acyclic graphs. We show that the intractability of exact inference in such networks do...
