We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...
In this work we present Cutting Plane Inference (CPI), a Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) inference method for Statistical Relational Learning. Framed in terms of Markov Logic and inspi...
While it is commonly agreed that analogy is useful in human problem solving, exactly how analogy can and should be used remains an intriguing problem. VanLehn (1998) for instance ...
Blind source separation (BSS) has become one of the major signal and image processing area in many applications. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Independent component analys...
Abstract. We present the OnlineDoubleMaxMinOver approach to obtain the Support Vectors in two class classification problems. With its linear time complexity and linear convergence ...
