The matching of hierarchical relational structures is of significant interest in computer vision and pattern recognition. We have recently introduced a new solution to this proble...
Recent work has shown that one can learn the structure of Gaussian Graphical Models by imposing an L1 penalty on the precision matrix, and then using efficient convex optimization...
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs; Lafferty, McCallum, & Pereira, 2001) provide a flexible and powerful model for learning to assign labels to elements of sequences in such appl...

We explore combining reinforcement learning with a hand-crafted local controller in a manner suggested by the chaotic control algorithm of Vincent, Schmitt and Vincent (1994). A c...
XQuery, the standard query language for XML, is gaining popularity among users with a SQL background; indeed, formulating XQuery and SQL queries requires comparable skills. Howeve...
