In many text classification applications, it is appealing to take every document as a string of characters rather than a bag of words. Previous research studies in this area mostl...
We present Darwin, an enabling technology for mobile phone sensing that combines collaborative sensing and classification techniques to reason about human behavior and context on ...
A major obstacle that decreases the performance of text classifiers is the extremely high dimensionality of text data. To reduce the dimension, a number of approaches based on rou...
Many collective labeling tasks require inference on graphical models where the clique potentials depend only on the number of nodes that get a particular label. We design efficien...
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of theoretical graph models, e.g., preferential attachment and small-world models, motivated by real-world graphs such as the Inter...
