Abstract. Task-structured probabilistic input/output automata (taskPIOAs) are concurrent probabilistic automata that, among other things, have been used to provide a formal framewo...

We examine the marriage of recent probabilistic generative models for social networks with classical frameworks from mathematical economics. We are particularly interested in how ...

We consider the question of how well a given distribution can be approximated with probabilistic graphical models. We introduce a new parameter, effective treewidth, that captures...
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...
This paper explores the issue of recognizing, generalizing and reproducing arbitrary gestures. We aim at extracting a representation that encapsulates only the key aspects of the ...
