Web entities, such as documents and hyperlinks, are created for different purposes, or intents. Existing intent-based retrieval methods largely focus on information seekers’ int...
We introduce a nonparametric representation for graphical model on trees which expresses marginals as Hilbert space embeddings and conditionals as embedding operators. This formul...
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...
Logic-based probabilistic models (LBPMs) enable us to handle problems with uncertainty succinctly thanks to the expressive power of logic. However, most of LBPMs have restrictions...
