In graphical modelling, a bi-directed graph encodes marginal independences among random variables that are identified with the vertices of the graph. We show how to transform a bi...
Background: Chow and Liu showed that the maximum likelihood tree for multivariate discrete distributions may be found using a maximum weight spanning tree algorithm, for example K...

Abstract--This letter considers the average complexity of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of convolutional codes. ML decoding can be modeled as finding the most probable path take...
Background: The aim of protein design is to predict amino-acid sequences compatible with a given target structure. Traditionally envisioned as a purely thermodynamic question, thi...
