Motivation: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)--functional RNA molecules not coding for proteins--are grouped into hundreds of families of homologs. To find new members of an ncRNA gene fam...
We introduce a novel framework for simultaneous structure and parameter learning in hidden-variable conditional probability models, based on an entropic prior and a solution for i...
Motivated by the poor performance (linear complexity) of the EM algorithm in clustering large data sets, and inspired by the successful accelerated versions of related algorithms l...
Phrase-based statistical MT (SMT) is a milestone in MT. However, the translation model in the phrase based SMT is structure free which greatly limits its reordering capacity. To a...

Given a record set D and a query score function F, a top-k query returns k records from D, whose values of function F on their attributes are the highest. In this paper, we investi...
