Digital photography has the potential to supersede conventional film photography. In order to realize this potential, digital photography needs to provide the best image quality a...
The complexity of a reasoning task over a graphical model is tied to the induced width of the underlying graph. It is well-known that the conditioning (assigning values) on a subs...
We study the viability of different robust optimization approaches to multiperiod portfolio selection. Robust optimization models treat future asset returns as uncertain coefficie...
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
Bayesian Kullback Ying—Yang dependence reduction system and theory is presented. Via stochastic approximation, implementable algorithms and criteria are given for parameter lear...
