PROBCONS: Probabilistic Consistency-Based Multiple Alignment of Amino Acid Sequences
Obtaining an accurate multiple alignment of protein sequences is a difficult computational problem for which many heuristic techniques sacrifice optimality to achieve reasonable r...

Transfer Learning using Kolmogorov Complexity: Basic Theory and Empirical Evaluations
In transfer learning we aim to solve new problems using fewer examples using information gained from solving related problems. Transfer learning has been successful in practice, a...

Sampling community structure
We propose a novel method, based on concepts from expander graphs, to sample communities in networks. We show that our sampling method, unlike previous techniques, produces subgra...

Pose Invariant Face Recognition Under Arbitrary Unknown Lighting Using Spherical Harmonics
Abstract. We propose a new method for face recognition under arbitrary pose and illumination conditions, which requires only one training image per subject. Furthermore, no limitat...

Fast shortest path distance estimation in large networks
In this paper we study approximate landmark-based methods for point-to-point distance estimation in very large networks. These methods involve selecting a subset of nodes as landm...
