Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

: Suppose we need to watch a set of targets continuously for a required period of time, and suppose we choose any number of sensors from a fixed set of sensor types and place them ...
A new class of parallel normalized preconditioned conjugate gradient type methods in conjunction with normalized approximate inverses algorithms, based on normalized approximate f...
Abstract. We give a general framework for approximate query processing in semistructured databases. We focus on regular path queries, which are the integral part of most of the que...
In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...
