Statistical models fit to data often require extensive and challenging re-estimation before achieving final form. For example, outliers can adversely affect fits. In other cas...
The inference of evolutionary trees using approaches which attempt to solve the maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) optimization problems is a standard part of much...
A serious problem in learning probabilistic models is the presence of hidden variables. These variables are not observed, yet interact with several of the observed variables. As s...

Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
It is widely accepted that the use of more compact representations than lookup tables is crucial to scaling reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms to real-world problems. Unfortun...
