We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
Sampling has been successfully used to identify performance optimization opportunities. We would like to apply similar techniques to check program correctness. Unfortunately, samp...
Although software reuse can improve both the quality and productivity of software development, it will not do so until software developers stop believing that it is not worth thei...
Traditional architecture design approaches hide hardware uncertainties from the software stack through overdesign, which is often expensive in terms of power consumption. The recen...
Social networks are popular platforms for interaction, communication and collaboration between friends. Researchers have recently proposed an emerging class of applications that l...
