Aggregate traffic loads and topology in multi-hop wireless networks may vary slowly, permitting MAC protocols to `learn' how to spatially coordinate and adapt contention patte...
We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...
We present a method for dependency grammar induction that utilizes sparse annotations of semantic relations. This induction set-up is attractive because such annotations provide u...
In recent years there has been a lot of interest in designing principled classification algorithms over multiple cues, based on the intuitive notion that using more features shou...
Self-organization of brain areas in animals begins prenatally, evidently driven by spontaneously generated internal patterns. The neural structures continue to develop postnatally...
