Natural Conjugate Gradient in Variational Inference
Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially ...

Thresholding for Making Classifiers Cost-sensitive
In this paper we propose a very simple, yet general and effective method to make any cost-insensitive classifiers (that can produce probability estimates) cost-sensitive. The meth...

Identification of Joint Interventional Distributions in Recursive Semi-Markovian Causal Models
This paper is concerned with estimating the effects of actions from causal assumptions, represented concisely as a directed graph, and statistical knowledge, given as a probabilit...

A User-Item Relevance Model for Log-Based Collaborative Filtering
Abstract. Implicit acquisition of user preferences makes log-based collaborative filtering favorable in practice to accomplish recommendations. In this paper, we follow a formal ap...
