Survey propagation is a powerful technique from statistical physics that has been applied to solve the 3-SAT problem both in principle and in practice. We give, using only probabi...
We propose a new method of classifying documents into categories. We define for each category a finite mixture model based on soft clustering of words. We treat the problem of cla...
We describe computationally efficient methods for learning mixtures in which each component is a directed acyclic graphical model (mixtures of DAGs or MDAGs). We argue that simple...

This paper discusses the efficiency of various batching methods for estimating performance parameters from steady-state simulation output, e.g., the steadystate mean. Our primary ...
In this paper, we address the problem of enhancement of a noisy GARCH process using a particle filter. We compare our approach experimentally to a previously developed recursive ...
