Large web search engines have to answer thousands of queries per second with interactive response times. Due to the sizes of the data sets involved, often in the range of multiple...
Recent advances in information retrieval over hyperlinked corpora have convincinglydemonstratedthat links carry less noisy information than text. We investigate the feasibility of...
Max-margin Markov networks (M3 N) have shown great promise in structured prediction and relational learning. Due to the KKT conditions, the M3 N enjoys dual sparsity. However, the...
Abstract. We develop a practical, distributed algorithm to detect events, identify measurement errors, and infer missing readings in ecological applications of wireless sensor netw...
Reverse-engineering of gene networks using linear models often results in an underdetermined system because of excessive unknown parameters. In addition, the practical utility of ...
