A family of probabilistic time series models is developed to analyze the time evolution of topics in large document collections. The approach is to use state space models on the n...
Traditionally, when one wants to learn about a particular topic, one reads a book or a survey paper. With the rapid expansion of the Web, learning in-depth knowledge about a topic...
Documents in the Web are often organized using category trees by information providers (e.g. CNN, BBC) or search engines (e.g. Google, Yahoo!). Such category trees are commonly kn...
This paper presents an architecture for solving generically the problem of extracting the constraints of a given task in a programming by demonstration framework and the problem...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
