Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

In models that define probabilities via energies, maximum likelihood learning typically involves using Markov Chain Monte Carlo to sample from the model’s distribution. If the ...
Abstract-- Fountain codes are designed so that all input symbols can be recovered from a slightly larger number of coded symbols, with high probability using an iterative decoder. ...
We introduce and analyze a deterministic fluid model that serves as an approximation for the Gt/GI/st + GI manyserver queueing model, which has a general time-varying arrival pro...
Abstract--With increasing spatial reuse of radio spectrum, cochannel interference is becoming a dominant noise source and may severely degrade the communication performance of wire...
