We consider the least-square linear regression problem with regularization by the 1-norm, a problem usually referred to as the Lasso. In this paper, we present a detailed asymptot...
We present a variational Bayesian framework for performing inference, density estimation and model selection in a special class of graphical models--Hidden Markov Random Fields (H...

Background: The preprocessing of gene expression data obtained from several platforms routinely includes the aggregation of multiple raw signal intensities to one expression value...
Kernel-based learning algorithms work by embedding the data into a Euclidean space, and then searching for linear relations among the embedded data points. The embedding is perfor...
