We present some improved bounds on necessary conditions for separating hash families of type {w, w} and type {w, w - 1}. In particular, these bounds apply to secure frameproof cod...
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...

The exogenous approach to enriching any given base logic for probabilistic and quantum reasoning is brought into the realm of institutions. The theory of institutions helps in capt...
In this paper we prove that the well-known correspondence between the forward-backward algorithm for hidden Markov models (HMMs) and belief propagation (BP) applied to HMMs can be...
