We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
There is a growing wealth of data describing networks of various types, including social networks, physical networks such as transportation or communication networks, and biologic...
This paper presents and evaluates an approach to Bayesian model averaging where the models are Bayesian nets (BNs). Prior distributions are defined using stochastic logic programs...
Conventions are necessary to establish in any recurrent cooperative arrangement. In electronic work, they are important so as to regulate the use of shared objects. Based on empir...
In models that define probabilities via energies, maximum likelihood learning typically involves using Markov Chain Monte Carlo to sample from the model’s distribution. If the ...
