We propose a local, generative model for similarity-based classification. The method is applicable to the case that only pairwise similarities between samples are available. The c...
We show that jointly parsing a bitext can substantially improve parse quality on both sides. In a maximum entropy bitext parsing model, we define a distribution over source trees,...
— In this paper we consider packet networks loaded by admissible traffic patterns, i.e. by traffic patterns that, if optimally routed, do not overload network resources. In the...

Marginal maximum likelihood estimation is commonly used to estimate logistic-normal models. In this approach, the contribution of random effects to the likelihood is represented a...
While conditional random fields (CRFs) have been applied successfully in a variety of domains, their training remains a challenging task. In this paper, we introduce a novel trai...
