Split variational inference
We propose a deterministic method to evaluate the integral of a positive function based on soft-binning functions that smoothly cut the integral into smaller integrals that are ea...

Fast Optimization Methods for L1 Regularization: A Comparative Study and Two New Approaches
L1 regularization is effective for feature selection, but the resulting optimization is challenging due to the non-differentiability of the 1-norm. In this paper we compare state...

Preference elicitation for interface optimization
Decision-theoretic optimization is becoming a popular tool in the user interface community, but creating accurate cost (or utility) functions has become a bottleneck — in most c...
