Algorithms based on following local gradient information are surprisingly effective for certain classes of constraint satisfaction problems. Unfortunately, previous local search a...
The history of molecular biology is punctuated by a series of discoveries demonstrating the surprising breadth of biological roles of ribonucleic acid (RNA). An ensemble of evoluti...
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
: Systems that include multiple integrated displays distributed throughout the working environment are becoming prevalent. Compared to traditional desktop displays, information pre...
One of the surprising findings from the study of CNF satisfiability in the 1990's has been the success of iterative repair techniques, and in particular of weighted iterative...
