A typical problem formal verification faces is the size of the model of a system being verified. Even for a small system, the state space of the model tends to grow exponentially (...
The Bayesian paradigm apparently only sometimes gives rise to Occam's Razor; at other times very large models perform well. We give simple examples of both kinds of behaviour...
We discuss the problem of optimally "finishing" a partially sequenced, reconstructed DNA segment. At first sight, this appears to be computationally hard. We construct a...
We present an algorithm for computing n-gram probabilities from stochastic context-free grammars, a procedure that can alleviate some of the standard problems associated with n-gr...
We present a new approach to preconditioning for very large, sparse, non-symmetric, linear systems. We explicitly compute an approximate inverse to our original matrix that can be...
