We give an algorithm that learns any monotone Boolean function f : {-1, 1}n {-1, 1} to any constant accuracy, under the uniform distribution, in time polynomial in n and in the de...
Abstract--Smooth surface extraction using partial differential equations (PDEs) is a well-known and widely used technique for visualizing volume data. Existing approaches operate o...
Traditionally, clustering problems are investigated under the assumption that all objects must be clustered. A shortcoming of this formulation is that a few distant objects, calle...
As a metabolic network reaches from a state to a steady state, a subset of its fluxes gradually change. The sequence of intermediate states, called the dynamic state, shows the pa...
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
