The two most important models of inferencing in approximate reasoning with fuzzy sets are Zadeh's Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI) and Similarity Based Reasoning (SBR). ...
In this paper, we study probabilistic modeling of heterogeneously attributed multi-dimensional arrays. The model can manage the heterogeneity by employing an individual exponential...
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...
Presence-absence (0-1) observations are special in that often the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Here we develop an independent factor model, which has the unique...
Recent advances in statistical machine translation have used approximate beam search for NP-complete inference within probabilistic translation models. We present an alternative ap...
