We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

We propose a novel approach to facilitate the concurrent development of ontologies by different groups of experts. Our approach adapts Concurrent Versioning, a successful paradigm...
This paper presents the case for Information Visualization (IV) to be a central, integrated component of study in Information Science. We summarize the current state of IV within ...

This paper addresses the following questions for a given tree T and integer d 2: (1) What is the minimum number of degree-d subtrees that partition E(T)? (2) What is the minimum n...
We consider channels with action-dependent states: Given the message to be communicated, the transmitter chooses an action sequence that affects the formation of the channel state...
