In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture ...
Abstract. The paper presents an algorithm for identifying the independent subspace analysis model based on source dynamics. We propose to separate subspaces by decoupling their dyn...
We propose a novel method for constructing utility models by learning from observed negotiation actions. In particular, we show how offers and counter-offers in negotiation can be...
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

We prove existence and uniqueness of the minimizer for the average geodesic distance to the points of a geodesically convex set on the sphere. This implies a corresponding existen...
