Although mixed-membership models have achieved great success in unsupervised learning, they have not been widely applied to classification problems. In this paper, we propose a f...
Abstract. A combinatorial random variable is a discrete random variable defined over a combinatorial set (e.g., a power set of a given set). In this paper we introduce combinatoria...
