Background: The development, in the last decade, of stochastic heuristics implemented in robust application softwares has made large phylogeny inference a key step in most compara...
Language modeling is an effective and theoretically attractive probabilistic framework for text information retrieval. The basic idea of this approach is to estimate a language mo...
We study the problem of projecting a distribution onto (or finding a maximum likelihood distribution among) Markov networks of bounded tree-width. By casting it as the combinatori...
In this paper, a general method for the numerical solution of maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) problems is presented; it adopts the deterministic learning (DL) approach to find ...
